HOW TO USE:

1. Identify the Pulley: Locate the press-on type belt-driven pulley you intend to remove, typically found on the power steering pump or alternator.
2. Attach the Puller Body: Thread the appropriate screw from the kit into the threaded shaft of the pulley or pump, then attach the puller body over the pulley, ensuring it's centered and stable.
3. Secure the Tool: Depending on the application, use the included components to securely anchor the puller to the pulley.
4. Remove the Pulley: Use a wrench or impact gun to turn the forcing screw on the puller body. This will draw the pulley off the shaft. If using an impact gun, attach the holding bar to prevent the housing from spinning.
5. Inspect: Once the pulley is removed, inspect the shaft and components for any damage.
6. Prepare the Shaft: Ensure the shaft is clean and free of debris. A light coating of lubricant on the shaft may assist in installation.
7. Select Adapter: Choose the correct installation adapter (arbor) from the kit that fits the center bore of the pulley.
8. Position Pulley: Place the new pulley onto the shaft.
9. Attach Installer Tool: Assemble the installer tool with the selected adapter. Thread the forcing screw into the pump's threaded shaft, and position the adapter against the pulley's center hub.
10. Install the Pulley: Use a wrench or impact gun to turn the forcing screw, pressing the pulley onto the shaft until it is fully seated to the correct depth, as specified by your vehicle's service manual.
11. Verify: Check that the pulley is properly aligned and seated before reassembling other components.
