Pulling PS pulley using a puller

[Donald]

This PS pulley does not have a grove where one can use a PS pulley puller? So a normal gear puller?

May I can just remove the nut and the lock washer and then the larger washer. Or is larger washer part of the pulley?

thats not a press on pulley, should come off easily after the shaft nut is removed.

You never know until you do it.

On the parts diagram it shows that large washer is actually part of the pulley and that the pulley and shaft are splined.

Yes they are but just because its splined does not mean it is press fit. Honda power steering pulleys have been like that forever.

Gee and I was thinking I had a reason to buy a new tool.

Well, you can buy a new tool and then act surprised when you find out that you didn't need it. Then, apply the logic that you may need it in the future and keep it.

So if I take off the nut will the pulley just slide off with a pull by hands.

may take a couple taps with a hammer if there is rust in the splines or something but shouldnt be any major force
