Pulling the pulley off is a straight foreword job. Replacing requires pump disassembly so pulley can be pressed on with the shaft properly supported. Similar to a alternator pulley.Also it's a fairly easy job the pully is a pain auto zone rents a puller if you don't have one
The same puller that removes the pulley is also used to install the pulley - no pressing required or recommended less you want to bitch the bearings.Pulling the pulley off is a straight foreword job.

Can you provide a photo of the puller/installer please?The same puller that removes the pulley is also used to install the pulley - no pressing required or recommended less you want to bitch the bearings.
Make sure you get the pump tight to the reservoir or it'll leak like a sieve. Plus you need to make sure the pump and reservoir are clocked right so it bolts back in like the old one. Take pictures for reference before you disassemble the old one.Just got my ps pump for the 71 satellite,i thought it came with the reservoir,the 1 on the car looks like its all 1 piece.at rock auto it has the reservoir,did it get the wrong 1 .what gets me is how the reservoir is sealed the the pump housing.

I did. That pump has a threaded hole in it. That was my point: a pump with a solid shaft must be partially disassembled to press on the pulley without damaging the pump. Agree?Look at the video at the bottom on the page.

Saginaw does have press fit models. Chrysler switched to press-on around '73. Since he ordered the guts, and others were discussing pullers, I did assume he received a press-on unit. Now we all know he just needs to remove the nut and key and switch it out.Saginaw pumps don't have a pressed on pulley. Federals do. Sags have a nut and keyway.
Which pump do you have? Beings it a 71 its probably a Saginaw.
Yes, Mike. If you have a service manual, it will show how.That was my point: a pump with a solid shaft must be partially disassembled to press on the pulley without damaging the pump.

I have many FSMs and was Factory trained Mopar line mechanic from 1971-78 and carried a ASE Master Tech certification for 20 years so, I didn't just fall off a turnip wagon!Yes, Mike. If you have a service manual, it will show how.
Housing has to be pulled off the pump. With the pump body out, when the pulley is pressed on, the backside of the shaft is the only place to be supported. Any place else, the pump gets messed up.
Sorry! I was only agreeing with you. Sounded like you were looking for verification.Agree?
