Pulling head off KA24e, PS pulley removal necessary? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

The FSM says to remove the power steering pulley as one of the earlier steps in pulling the head, but it's giving me too much grief and I was wondering if it was a crucial step. If so, I guess I'll remove the entire pump rather than spend any more time on the stinkin pulley alone.

(I've tried all the tricks I can think of... Increased the belt tension, it still slips. Stuck a screwdriver in the pulley, bye bye Craftsman. Stuck a long 14mm socket through it to a bolt on the PS pump mount, almost bye bye Craftsman again)

Any other tips for someone who's doing this for their first time on a KA?

thanks!
