Trying to get the crank driven pwr steering pump off. Got the dampener off. removed hyd lines, removed the two bolts holding the pump in place. Can't get the pump to come off! Anyone have had this problem? Tried prying. Tried lube. The pump does spin on the crank. Afraid that if I put anymore pressure on it its going to break All advise appreciated. tks Mike

Did you remove the second key for the Damper?

The Damper registers on a small half moon key at the end of the crank shaft.

The crank gear registers on another keyway closer to the main bearing.

That second woodruff key is much longer than the damper key and fixes both the crank sprocket and the power steering pump hub. It's not even visible until the pump has been removed. Use plenty of penetrating and releasing oil. Keep doing what you're doing. You have to tease it off from the front. Don't be tempted to pry the pump body or use a bearing puller on it. Do not hit the pump body with anything. Above all, be patient; it will come off eventually.
