To remove a pulley, first ENSURE the threads are clean & smooth all the way in, and apply a light coat of oil so the tools don't seize. Note the depth of the pulley hub to the pump shaft for proper installation later. Most have the face of the pulley hub perfectly flush with the end of the pump shaft. Then set the 2 clamshell halves around the silver drive hub and the pulley's hub groove. Then thread in the main shaft with the appropriate tip. I commonly use the button tip since most Ford shafts aren't threaded all the way out. If yours is, use one of the deep UNthreaded tips to protect the threads.
