Removing ps pump
My pump just started violently shaking and smoking and i took the belt off and i cant even turn it by hand. Its also dripping out the shaft. How do you get those metal pulleys off without bending them so i can take the 3 bolts out with removing the whole friggen bracket assembly.

What year, make and model?
If it's the same as my '92, you'll need to get a pulley puller thinga-ma-bob. Like this - Performance Tool Power Steering Pump/Alternator Pulley Puller, Model# W87020 | Specialty Tools| Northern Tool + Equipment
They can be purchased at just about any auto parts store. The pulley is pressed on so it will take some effort to get it off.
Also make sure you have the tools to put it back on. Like this - Performance Tool Ford Power Steering Pump Pulley Installer, Model# W87021 | Specialty Tools| Northern Tool + Equipment

I can't specifically answer about your 4.9 as it may be a little different than my 5.8 but I use them on my plastic pulley without issues. I don't recall ever having a metal pulley on mine - if I did it was a LONG time ago.

I have this:
Pulley Remover and Installer Set
Works fine on either steel or plastic pulleys, is the exact same thing that the auto parts stores have, and it's only $20 at HFT!

Of course, since it's from HFT it probably has lead and thallium in it.

I noticed the quality of their stuff has been improving over the years. Still some cheap junk to be found of course, but also a lot of decent tools and equipment for a decent price these days.

Remove the pulley, remove the 3 bolts and the pump should come out the back. Then just need to remove hoses. This is how it is on my 351w
