Removing the power steering pump pulley requires special tools, they are pressed on to the shaft. You will need one puller to remove the pulley and another to install the pulley without damaging the pump. Some local part stores and rental places might be able to help you out with a reasonably priced rental. If not, unless you plan on being a mechanic you will be money ahead to have a shop repair your vehicle.
