My replacement reman pump didn't come with a pulley, but the one I had
fit fine. I took the 4 bolts out and whacked it with a rubber mallet a
few times. When that didn't work, I grabbed whatever prybar was at
arms length. It's a '94 318 btw.

For the fan/clutch removal I had some hairbrained setup involving a
piece of angle iron. I'll try to find a picture.
