Hi Bill,
There is a special puller for the power steering pulley, but since yours is
already trashed, you could use a regular gear puller to remove it. As far
as installing the new one, it gets pressed on. Have this done at a shop.
The pulleys are very soft and unforgiving. You can bend one before you know
it if you try to install it without a press (or one very big vise). There
is a spec in the FSM for aligning the pulley on the pump shaft. I don't
remember off the top of my head what it is, but I can look in the manual for
you. If you don't follow this your S-belt will be out of alignment. This
will cause it to most likely squeek and wearout prematurely. That means
you'll be pulling the PS pump back out to have the pulley re-aligned, so its
worth doing right the first time. Let me know if you want the specs from
the FSM, ok?

I broke the Idler pulley bracket on the Kenne Bell SC this afternoon
and screwed up the power steering pulley. Naturally the dealer had to order
power steering pulley. It won't be here til Friday morning.
Kenne Bell is shipping the bracket assembly with idler pulley
overnite. Looks like I'll be without wheels til Friday afternoon. Don't
want
to go out and hunt parts on my motorcycle in a dam* hurricane. Anybody know
what it takes to get power steering pulley off and reinstalled. May have to
let dealer do it. Damn composit pulley broke lip off about 3/4 of the way
around. still got 4 good grooves on it.
I think it all started when the belt thru one of the ribs and it
wrapped around the stock Idler pulley, still got to get it off that pulley.
