Remove Power Steering Pump and Replace with another Pulley?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I am running a truck accessory drive for my Z project. Since I don't have power steering in the Z I don't need a power steering pump. Since my truck accessories have the alternator on the top drivers side and the power steering pump below it, I wondered if anyone sold a bolt on pulley that would eliminate the pump, but still leave a pulley so the belt tension stays nice and tight.

 

Thanks guys!!

On my setup I'm running the power steering pulley on a gutted power steering pump. It's been working great so far.

 

I think you are running the car setup, which means your pump is up high on the drivers side, mine is the truck setup and the pump is mounted down low.

Nope, mine is low and on the passenger's side - but I'm running an LT1. My setup is different, but I'm just saying that in general gutting a power steering pump is a possible solution. It may not be easy to do, but it will work - and yes it still has fluid in it. Some people even use the power steering pump as a pulley without gutting it - they just run the line in a loop.
