power steering pump.

Post by yeragain » Fri Jan 24, 2025 6:56 pm

Hi, i have a 2001 grand Vitara 2 door 1600 petrol soft top . I have just bought a new power steering pump for it . When i offered it up i found that the pulley did not line up with the one on the crank , thus the belt would run at an angle ( not good ) so i thought i might pull the pulley a few mill along the shaft . It is not held in place with a bolt , but looks as if it push fit with maybe a key on the shaft . What i would like to know is how to pull the pulley off the shaft a little . It is also a little smaller than the one on the old pump, but i think there is enough adjustment to take up any slack . I think that covers it , oh , yes, the shaft looks like an Allen key would fit in , then further down inside it looks like it might be threaded . I think that is it this time. cheers Yer.
