did something stupid
so i have been tearing down my 5.3 to do a 383 build and i wanted to powder coat my power steering pump bracket. i used a 3 jaw puller to get the pulley off and i bent the pulley and the damn thing never budged. any advice on how to get it off and get a replacement pulley?

i have one in my hands right now but i dont or cant see how to use it to re install the pulley. im waiting for the brackets to get back from the powder coaters and i just finished repainting the pump so im about to clear it. but if you can explain how to use this to install it would be awesome. i think im supposed to thread into the shaft but there is no threads.

To reinstall it, there should be a piece that screws in to the shaft of the PS pump, then the threaded pulling part will screw on to it, then you just use the big nut and thrust bearing to push the pulley back on.
