it is a special steering pump pully puller. you can rent them from a couple different auto parts sto.res. i've been told if you use a regular pully puller it'll bend the pully. i agree the set up is a little difficult. not too bad onceyou get the pully off. hope this helps, others will chime in shortly i'm sure.

KJG26 is right. I did mine and if you take your time and figure out the tool it may/may not give you a hard time. I cracked my pulley all to crap and had to buy a new one. But its a battle just like anything. Hope you get it.
