I got a rebuilt PS pump (316k mi on the old one and it finally started making noise), but it came without the pulley. Pulling the pulley from the old pump has turned out to be an impossible task. Of 4 different sets of jaw pullers, none can get right in there to grab the lip around the shaft (settle down Beavis) you're supposed to use to do this. It's a bad combination of bad angle and small lip. I was even going to ground one of the puller jaws down for clearance to see if that worked, but after careful consideration, I'd probably just have a jaw fail.

So, WTF is up with this? Anybody have a successful go at pulling this thing off? I had an extra PS pump with a bad bearing that I tried pressing off, mostly just in anger and frustration, but that's no good because the pulley is rolled/stamped and you just end up crushing the wrong parts.

Any ideas are appreciated. Otherwise I'll be visiting a bunch of machine shops.
