It helps to pull the fan and shroud off and cover the back of your radiator with a piece of cardboard to keep run away wrenches from punching a hole in your radiator.
Thanks for all the good advice, guys. What happened was, the groove part of the pulley seperated from the front of the pulley, creating a loose ring. Now if anyone understands that, I'd be impressed . If anyone cares, I'm going to try and attach a picture of it.
Thanks again, alot of good points, but I bring up the question again, is it really difficult to change the whole pump. The P/S pump did have a slight whine to it & although it doesn't seem too difficult to put a new pulley on, should I go the extra mile & get myself a fresh P/S pump? (assuming money is not the issue).
Thanks in advance for all comments.

Now thats talent right there. Oh.. and if you plan on keeping the supercoupe, buy the pulley puller. You'll be glad you did.Thanks for all the good advice, guys.

Thats rather optimistic. If you've practiced it about 4-5 times. For a 1st timer, probably more like 3 each way. The biggest time killer problem will be taking the lines off and having to remove the IC again to reseal the tubes that you THOUGHT you could get away with just bolting back on. Then there's the fuse you'll need to replace when you short out the live connection on the back of the alternator, and of course the threads that get stripped that will need to be retapped from the coil pack. Not to mention the bolt that gets dropped that can't be found that you spend 15 minutes looking for.To take apart and put back together you're looking at about an hour each way
