Saginaw TC has the separate reservoir and is a small, squarish little pump. Paul has the OTHER Saginaw with the integral fluid reservoir in the shape of a teardrop can on the back of the pump. Yes, you have to remove the pulley to swap out the pump (but maybe not to rebuild it). Mine was IMPOSSIBLE to pull off and in fact I broke my puller on it. So I am going to have to get a new pulley and cut the old one off before returning the used unit for the core refund. Anybody got a better idea? Torch? I tried a heat gun and lots of PBlaster: no luck.

my Oldsmobile factory manual says all the small olds' use the same pump. This is the tc which has i think, four possible attached resivoirs or the seperate resivior setup. Are you using a power steering pulley removal tool? Trying to use a gear puller will only bend the pulley. I got the $9.99 one from harbour freight. Lisle makes one for around $50.00 as well.

I used to work in a shop that rebuilt power steering pumps, alternators, water pumps etc. The method that worked 99% of the time was to put the puller on the pulley, crank it down, and then whack the end of the puller's shaft with a big honkin' hammer. After each whack, tighten down the puller again. The shock seems to bust it free. Rarely did we have to get the torch out.
