There are a few ways to remove power steering pump pulley without a tool:
– use a breaker bar placed between the engine and the bracket that holds the pulley in place;
– use a jack and a wrench to remove the bolt that holds the pulley in place; or
– use a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to cut off the pulley.
