New Cardone PS pump leaking

[Stanglover]

You need a puller that will clamp around the groove on the pulley hub. This one should work:

This one seems a little better rated and even looks better in the pictures:

The cheaper one works perfectly fine. Just make sure to grease the threads as per instructions. I've used mine several times without problems.

I need to remove the pully from my O.E pump and install on the new Cordone pump I just purchased. Some pointers on removing the pully and maybe what H.F pully puller to use?

See my post #11 to give an idea of how I set it up to do one handed. In that pic, I was re-installing the pulley, but removal was basically the same thing.

EDIT: When removing the pulley, you will be tightening the center bolt while holding the nut with a wrench locked down somehow, or in reverse to the picture I show. Does that make sense???

Thank you for your advice! I dont know how I missed post 11 ?

I am COMPLETELY rebuilding ALL components on the car. Engine, EVERY PIECE of suspension, steering components including the gear, all springs, all SS brake and fuel lines, SS parking brake cables, 4spd toploader transmission, brakes front and rear, 9" differential, rebuilt at specialty shop alternator, starter, water pump, AC compressor and anything else that can be rebuilt. I have not finished the work yet but will know how it drives when everything is back together. I hope not to resort to adding a steering dampener in the future.

That was/is a great post. You're knowledge is what I relied on when I decided to go down the rabbit hole.
I'll say this though, anyone deciding to attempt a rebuild on their own, be very aware of bad advice given on YouTube. There are a few very good videos, so pick and choose.
PS pump rebuild is also doable and has been covered on the forum.

This may not be relevant, but I had mine leak through the front and it was related to the canister being a little out of shape. A new canister fixed the issue but some work in the old canister would have done the trick as well.

This is my post that (eventually) leads to the description of rebuilding a Ford/Thompson pump.
Page 3 is most relevant.
