Re: Need to replace a power steering pully on a 2000 Town...
Go to local parts store and rent the power steering puller / installer. This is the only way to do it. Otherwise you will damage the seals and bearings in the pump if you hit it with a hammer or press with a regular press.

you may omit the compressor with a shorter belt of you can find one. just make sure the rest of the pulleys are working especially the water pump and power steering.
It very well could be the tensioner if it does not sit straight, or the idler pulley if the bearings have gone out, but usually 99% of the time it is the power steering pulley that is pulling out from the power steering pump, and that is usually what is causing the belt to mis-align especially at the waterpump pulley, check the alignment of that pulley very well.
if your set to do it. First you have to dismantle the front of the motor. then unload the tension pully. unbolt the water pully the steering pump. then the tensioner. replace here's where it get hard in the small space you'll have to put tension on the ten to put belt back on. broke hand here.
just replace the pulley it is cheaper take to autostore that has a press and they can press the new one on (try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you)
