I'm installing a new power steering pulley on an 88 tbi motor and I cant get the stupid thing pressed on for nothing! I've got the install tool on there, and it seems like if I turn too much more I'm gonna break the bolt off...and the pulley is only half way on. Anybody know any "tricks" to make this easier? or is it just supposed to suck this bad lol...

 

hmm...i did one a few months ago, i remember it being hard, but i'm not sure it was that hard....i know there was a lot of pounding and stuff....

 

I've put one on with a hammer before, but I've been told thats a bad idea.

A guy I work with told me to try putting grease on it first, maybe I'll try that?

 

is there a key way or notch or something? because if its just a smooth shaft and smooth hole, i would not recommend grease...then it'll slide on there 2 easy...i think its supposed to be a pressed fit...

 

if you get too mad take it to like advanced auto or oriley auto parts and they will do it for ya
