power steering pulley
I know I could not be the only one to think this but could not find anything about it... Drilling access holes when needing to remove power steering pump. I don't know if it will throw off the balance or what.. And yes it's all metal

Re: power steering pulley
If the holes were needed the factory would have put them there. Front wheel drive gm cars had access holes but trucks need a puller to remove it. The pulley should have a groove in the nose area for the puller to latch onto it. Do a google search on gm power steering pump puller and you will be able to see if this is whats needed.

Re: power steering pulley
GM does a lot of things that don't make sense some times... I was just asking if it would effect it working properly...

Re: power steering pulley
Balance at high RPM would be a problem if they were not the same
Are there some steel pulleys that have three spokes, and access to the bolts available without removing the pulley

Re: power steering pulley

Re: power steering pulley
If your worried about balance drill 3 equally spaced holes in the pulley. If balance was an issue the belt yanking on the pump in one direction would cause all sorts of problems. A ps pump pulley puller isn't terribly expensive though.
