I'm trying to get motivated to do something today, but being bent over all day takes its toll.
In the meantime, I took a look at the power steering pump yesterday. The pulley is frozen solid to the pump shaft, and there was no getting it off, so the hunt is on for a new pulley.
Put the old pump, with pulley, in the freezer for a hour, then use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the pulley. (Don't use a torch, not even a propane torch.)
If need be, while warming the pulley, use an inverted spray can of compressed air to re-cool the shaft. (The type of compressed air used to clean keyboards.)
I think it's called differential expansion ...
