I think my power steering pump leak has shorted out my alternator. My Isuzu dealer tells me that there is no rebuild kit for the power steering pump, although I read here that there might be one. I'll call Merlin in the morning, but in the meantime, can anyone tell me about typical problems with these pumps. At first I thought maybe I didn't get the hoses on tight enough when I changed out my water pump, but the hose connections were very tight. So I'm assuming that the leak is coming from the pump itself.

Also, any tips on getting the pulley off of the pump? So far I've removed the pump, but I can't get the pulley off. I was going to put it in a vice, but I didn't know if that would hurt the pulley. Thanks, Taro
