The power steering pulley is a belt-driven device used to enable the power steering pump. Unlike removing the power steering pump, removing only the pulley does not require a complicated drain of the steering fluid or a bleeding of the system. If you suspect the power steering pulley is faulty, replace it immediately to avoid damaging the power steering system. Remove the negative (-) battery cable for safety when working on a vehicle. You can use the pliers to loosen the nut and slide the cable off of the terminal. Remove the drive belt from the power steering pump pulley by rotating the pulley to increase slack. Let the belt hang away from the pulley. Use the socket wrench to remove the mounting bolts from the power steering pump pulley. Most vehicles have three bolts to remove. Install the new pump in its place. Tighten the bolts. Reattach the drive belt around the pulley. Start the engine and make sure it is operating correctly.
