Need help installing PS pulley - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I pulled the pulley of the original PS pump, but I am struggling to get the pulley on the new pump. The new pump does not have center hole for me to screw into to press the the pulley on.

The shaft does have threads for me to put a nut on, but not sure how to press it on. Do I use the tool that I used to pull the pulley but in reverse?

Dont press or hammer the pully..you'll ruin the pump..go to oreillys or one of your local parts stores..they have loan-a-tools...they will have a kit you can borrow that pulls and installs PSP pullys....

I went to advance auto and used their kit. I took the pump and pulley into the store and did it right there on the countertop. That way I didnt have to pay the money just to drive home, use it, and then drive back and return in.

I have the kit. The issue is there is no way to thread into the center of the shaft.

Ohhhhh poop. I had been sold the wrong pump too. It was clocked wrong and the fittings weren't coming out at the right places
