The top pulley or sprocket in the serpentine belt system is wobbly and moves loosely in and out. It needs to be replaced. How do take it off?

Hey GARYJA8,

I have attached the instructions for replacing the power steering pulley on your vehicle below.

Before replacing i would advise checking if the play is in the pulley, ie the pulley is loose on the shaft/the pulley is out of shape, or that the power steering pump shaft has play and is causing the wobble you are experiencing. It may be that you require a new PAS pump and not a new pulley.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards, Joe
