Power steering pump broke?

Hello I decided to do a new power steering pump in my 7.3 today but I am sure regretting it now!!

I was putting the pulley on the new pump and everything was going good then it started to get tight now when I try to install it further the shaft just spins instead of pushing the pulley further on.

I tried all the parts in my install kit even the bolt and nut that came with my new pump.

Is the shaft broken or what? Do you think it's my fault or did I get a bad one

I got it on I had to hold the pulley from spinning while tightening it on. My pump directions, pulley tool directions, and forum guides all never mentioned anything about doing that.
