power steering pump removal HELP
What's the trick to get the pump off? I can't get it out because I don't have the hole in my pulley to get the bolts out.

I replaced my P/S pump the first day i got y jeep, and it wasnt fun. They wanted to sell me a new pulley with no holes, like OP's.
I declined, nothing wrong with mine.
Aforementioned pulley puller is a ***** to use, fyi

There are 2 bolts into the intake manifold and one into the idler pulley/belt tensioner assembly. All are 1/2". You can take the 2 top bolts off and then either remove the lower bolt, or the entire idler assembly which is bolted to the water pump. You can buy a 1/2" drive ratcheting wrench for about $13 at Lowe's to take the bolts out. Factory pulleys have holes in them making it more straightforward with a regular 1/2" deep socket and ratchet.
