The pulley is a press fit, you will need the tool to R&R the pulley. "Rent" it from Advance Auto or Autozone for free.

Update -

I decided to take the entire pump to a longtime family mechanic to have him take a peek. He mainly works on modern day rides, but rebuilds classic cars from time to time, including some award winning Cobras. He said it just needs a new seal kit, mainly that original O-ring I pointed out in my first post. So I walked next door to the O'Reilly Auto Parts and ordered the kit. $20.00

I'll let you guys know if that solves the problem. If not, I'll just buy a whole new pump.

Thanks again for the help and advice.

Well, 3 days after replacing the 2 o-rings on the inlet connector - no leaks!

Glad it was that simple..... thanks again for all the help.

Ready to tackle the next leak..... the speedometer cable and tranny fluid.

Oh, use to be on HF discount coupon email list and with the coupon purchased their pulley remover for about $15, so far used it couple tiimes and it worked okay.
