Power steering pulley cracked
I looked under the hood after my trip to Texas and I have a radial crack to the center of my power steering pulley. Doing turns has become difficult and I have stopped driving it. Can I buy and replace just the pulley or do I have to replace the whole power steering pump? How much would it cost?

I'd make a trip to the salvage yard and purchase a new ( salvaged ) pulley. I don't think the new pumps com with a pulley. Interesting yours cracked though, I can't say I've ever seen or heard of that happening.

I just replaced my power steering pump and pulley. The pulley is sold seperate and it cost me $17 at Advance Auto Parts. They can be a PITA to put on and you will probably need a pulley puller to remove your old one unless the crack made it loose. Good luck.

I just replaced mine at O'reillys $13 pulley only. Do yourself a favor and get the pulley puller/installer from the loan a tool that has a FULL collar to go around the outer lip of your pulley. I tried the clamp style puller and pulled the lip off the pulley and ended up cutting the old one off.

Last weekend I got the pulley off, and replaced it with a new one for 14 bucks. I got the pulley puller for free renting it. I ended up ripping the little lip that the puller grabs onto to I just cut the dang thing off with a dremel. Replaced and works perfectly, that's for the tips.
