power steering pump pulley looks **** eyed on pump which I think is causing the power steering to be spotty(very hard to turn wheel at some points), get terrible burning smell coming from pump, hear loud whining, grinding sounds and sometimes see rust fly off it when engine is running, serpentine belt feels very tight, pretty sure the whole pulley and serpentine belt will eventually fly off, was wondering how to tackle this issue, should I change just the pulley? do i need to change the pump, pulley, reservoir and hoses or can i reuse some parts, seems all other parts are good except for the pulley and pulley mount?
if I have to replace entire power steering pump assembly and hoses how would I even get it off, on the KJs it looks easy as per videos I watched, don't see any videos on KK power steering assembly removal, a lot of stuff in the way, way more stuff in the way than the KJ, I see whats in the way just don't wanna take off more than I need to(yes i'm a DIYer)
anyone has any insight into this issues please help me out, thanks
