Not too sure

Yes, you can. I did it, and 90% of the time I'm an idiot. As a matter of fact, the pulley is still on my old pump, because the nose broke instead of it coming off.View media item 32248

Please post a how to. Other people would love to know how you did it!

Maybe we're talking about different year trucks like Richard said? I see your signature is an 88 and if I'm right Erik's is a 89 while mine is an 88 also. Here's a picture of mine in a state of disassembly showing my PS pump laying on the side with the hoses still connected. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the brackets in place. IIRC I was able to get to the lower front bolt on the pump from underneath with a box wrench, the others weren't that hard. Then I slid the pump down through the gap in the brackets and laid it on its side on the frame, note: it did leak a little out of the filler cap in that position.

There are bolts on the front of the pump behind the pulley that you have to remove with a wrench. Once you have those out and remove the bracket on the back, the pump just slides down and out towards the frame.

Go spray the PS pump snout with some penetrating lube. Then go rent a pulley puller from Autozone. You'll have the whole thing apart in just a few minutes, and you'll kick yourself for trying to do it the hard way.

I bough one for a few bucks. The pulley wasnt hard to get off at all. The bracket did have to be cut to fit the headers
