Factory Alternator/power steering bracket???

I have a 91 Camaro with a SBC carbed motor swap. My problem is, I am using my stock powersteering bracket, and the alternator mounts to it. My buddy broke the one end off the top of the bracket to mount the alternator. I have a new bracket, it came with the power steering unit. I have to remove this power steering unit, since I want to use mine as I know it works.

I cannot get the Power steering pulley off the pump. I have used a 3 jaw puller with no luck and the slip collar puller with no luck. Is there a special tool to remove the Power steering pump pulley?

Thanks,Mike

Yea, you're lucky it didn't get damaged from the three jaw. It's a special style. Slip collar sounds right though, did the bolt you use thread all the way in? It's a real muscle thing. I had a few friends help me with it. So glad I didn't have to change the pump on the car.

Myself and the two O reily employees used the slip collar puller, and the pulley wouldnt budge. Im stuck on what to use since this pulley with 3 people didnt get it off.
