I had to pull the power steering pump to replace the rusted lines. In attempting to reinstall the pulley onto the pump I found that all the treads in the pump shaft are ripped out (must have been the ford dealer when I got that side worked on 10 years ago).
I thought I would be clever and welded up and insert like the installer tool has out of 2 bolts and JB welded it in there, figuring on just leaving it in there forever after installing the pulley. That was plan B
Well, that did not even come close to working. The JB weld ripped right out.
I know hammering it on is supposed to destroy the pump bearings...
What else should I try besides a whole new pump?
