Power Steering Pulley Puller and Installer Kit - Versatile Tool

In this review the OEMTOOLS Power Steering Pulley Puller and Installer Kit is judged on fit, function, and real-world usefulness for home mechanics and pros. The bottom line: this kit is for anyone who regularly services power steering pumps or water pumps on Ford, GM, Chrysler, or VW vehicles and needs a compact, reliable set that removes and installs pressed-on pulleys without risk of damage. It delivers broad compatibility and an organized case, making it the single most practical pulley tool for mixed domestic-garage work.

Key Features

• Versatile vehicle compatibility: Works with Ford, GM, Chrysler, and VW pumps, including Saginaw, Thompson, and Ford C111 and C2, so one kit covers many common domestic applications.
• Multiple hub sizes: Includes hub diameters from 1-1/8' to 1-3/8' so users can match the tool to a range of pulley centers without improvising.
• Press-fit pulley removal: Designed to pull pressed-on water pump pulleys on GM V6 engines and similar applications, reducing the chance of bent shafts or damaged pulleys.
• Complete pulling and installing set: The kit supplies the components needed to remove and reinstall pulleys and GM belt-driven vacuum pumps, avoiding trips to the shop for single-use tools.
• Organized storage case: All pieces are housed in a compact case for easy transport and clean storage, which keeps parts together between jobs.
• Mechanic-trusted reliability: Built for repeated use in a professional environment, the kit performs consistently when used as intended.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIY mechanics, backyard restorers, and professional technicians who work on domestic cars and trucks and need a dedicated pulley puller for Saginaw, Thompson, Ford C111/C2, and GM V6 water pump pulleys. If you service a variety of engines across Ford, GM, Chrysler, and VW, the included hub sizes and fittings reduce the need to buy separate pullers.

Those who should look elsewhere are technicians who only work on imported vehicles with nonstandard pulley systems or shops that require a hydraulic or vehicle-specific manufacturer tool. Also, if thread finish and fine-tolerance fit are crucial for heavy daily production work, verify the kit meets your shop standards before committing.
