Is Dorman the only one making replacement power steering pump pulleys? I have checked all the major parts suppliers online and that's all I come up with. The problem is that the Dorman pulley has a 6.5 in. diameter and the OE pulley has a 6.125 in. diameter. The original pump and pulley assembly just fit pulling it out between the oil pan and cast aluminum suspension/steering cradle. I had to rotate the pump assembly so that the pulley was facing down and it just scrapped past coming out. Do I have to press on the pulley with the new pump loose up in the "hole". If I do that and use the dorman pulley how much longer does the serpentine belt need to be? I can't reuse the OE pulley since I can see a crack in it. No, I did not try to take it out by removing the exhaust, no way I'm going to mess with 14 year old, 248 K mile exhaust and break bolts and wind up with another miserable job! Thanks
Oh, I've put this project off for months, so when the right front axle cv started sounding off I figured it was time to do the power steering. Pulling the axle assembly was a piece of cake, the power steering - miserable!
