Re: what size tool?

You don't need an Allen at all. Not even sure why they put a hex there in the first place; it's never useful for anything out here beyond the factory walls.

You need a power steering pulley puller. Available at AZ, Advance, and anywhere else that "rents" tools. Note that the list of such places DOES NOT include Harbor Freight so don't bother looking there.

Re: what size tool?

As mentioned above, the only tool that will remove a power steering pulley is a power steering pulley remover. You "might" get a generic puller to work but it's unlikely.

yeah,its been a long weekend,i was looking at the hex bolt,and was trying to unscrew that,then relized... duh. i got it,went to autozone and rented the puller that kinda wraps around the center hub. came right off.
now all the bolts are seized and im having a very hard time getting them off. maybe tomorrow.
