P/S Pump issue

I was changing the oil today and looking at the engine and the belt on the pump was crooked looking. I got to looking and the bolts that hold the pump reservior to the actual bracket were loose. Loose nought to where they are coming into the pulley area So looks like I'll be borrowing a pulley remover/installer tomorrow from AZ to get that tool. It's been bugging me for awhile since once in awhile I'd hear a noise from it. So I found the problem. Makes me think I want to get a new chrome one instead of fixing that one but I need to either way. This time I'll use some loc-tite on it.

Re: P/S Pump issue

I have never replaced a PS pump, but I suspect I am about to. Do you reuse the pulley? Mine is bent and it wobbles. If they are reused, are they available through anything sources besides junkyards (probably bent like mine) or the dealer (probably cost more than my truck)?

When I replaced mine I had to reuse the pulley and install in on the new one with the bracket as well.
