SOURCE: how to use a power stearing pully kit
There are a few different kinds. So take this into consideration. If it's the clamp type: loosen the side nuts and place the two arms into the groove on the front of the steering pump pulley and tighten them down as tight as you can. Take the bolt that goes into the center and tighten it just before it makes contact in the center of the pulley. If you have the spacer/washer to go on the end put it on and tighten the center nut to push in on the pump shaft INSIDE of the pulley. This should pull the pulley off while pressing on the inner shaft. (sometimes these things slip out of the pulley groove and you might have to use a "C" clamp to hold them together tight enough), while slipping a large wrench over the sides that dont have the jaws on them.
If it's the slip on type: back the bolt out of it. Slip it into the pulley groove and tighten the center bolt into the pulley, and make contact with the pump shaft, INSIDE of the pulley. Put a large wrench on the tool to hold it still, and tighten the center bolt.
What I'm afraid is that you're doing it inside of the engine compartment. And there's not much room. You may be able to get to it by removing the front tire and jacking the van up.
