Replacing a pully

I need to take out my water pump but in order to get to it I have to take out the power steering pully to get to the nuts(it's a v6 3.1) so I brought the remover but how do I replace it? Thanks

You would be better off removing the power steering pump and bracket. This way you will not have to remove the Power Steering pulley and it will give you more room to work with when taking the pump off.
Are you replacing the water pump?...Have you purchased the pump yet?. Reason why I ask is that some places depending on where you get the pump from will give you a pump that looks nothing like what you have, but yet will swear up and down that that pump is the correct one. My water pump on my 92 V6 was listed under the 93 3.4L.......Just a heads up.

You can put it back with a bolt, washer, and nut. IIRC its 3/8" fine thread. Put the nut on the bolt, thread it up as far as needed to get the bolt to thread in, and then tighten up the nut against the pulley. You will want the washer between the pulley and the nut. A bolt with threads all the way up rather than just 1" will probably be necessary.

Thanks for the size, you saved me $30.00 for a new pully installer.
