power stearing pulley?

[wingtip80]

My power strearing pulley is wobbling. Can I just replace the bearing? If so how hard are they to find if at all? Or do I need to replace the whole pump.

Thanks in advance

Don't know if there's a rebuild kit for the pump.

you should first look at the pulley - every one that I have seen with a wobble was due to a bent pulley.

if the prior owner didn't know how to get the pulley off, it is easy to bend by prying it.

I'll second that, true on many Fords from this era. Hint: buy and use a proper pulley remover and then an installer (not the same tool). Voice of experience here...

No puller required on the sho to remove the pulley. If the pump is bad just replace it. It takes about an hour to change the pump with proper tools.

Thx, I've only had to change pullies on my '89 F250 and '93 3.0 Taurus GL, so I speculated that a SHO might be the same.

The pump works fine it's just the pulley. I didn't know if it was just a bearing I could change out.
Also the car is a 90

There is no bearing in the pulley.
