Power steering pump, adapterand driving gear
Hi,
The P/S pump in my '90 Majestic started growling today, so at 30 years and a 106K miles it's time for new.
I have a used setup on it's way, which I'll install in my car.
However I would like to install a reman pump on my original adapter and looking at the assembly it surely isn't complex.
My question, what kind of puller did you use to pull the driving gear off of the pump shaft?
Or did you press the pump shaft out using a bolt and press?

I bought a Harbor Freight bearing puller and modified it to pull the drive dog out.
I cut a bolt and threaded it into the shaft to have something to push against.
I drilled two 1/4" holes as shown in picture and inserted two grade 8 bolts.
Using a piece of metal bent at 90 degrees, I used some crazy glue to hold a nut under the drive dog slot and threaded the bolt into the nut on both sides.
I then tightened the top nut to lock the bolt to the drive dog.
I then threaded in the puller shaft and tightened the shaft down on the cut bolt I had previously threaded into the shaft.
I inserted a bolt into one of the holes in the aluminum adapter and jammed a 3/4" wrench to lock the nut on the puller shaft.
The cross piece started to bend so I made 2 supports to prevent it from bending.
After about 10 turns the drive dog came out.
