Matt, Heat the pulley near the shaft with a torch or a VERY hot heat gun. the aluminum pulley will expand around the shaft area and vertually fall off. just be sure to keep the heat consentrated on the pulley center and keep moving it around the shaft. Once it is off, just let it cool down and you will be ready to press it on the new pump. It also helps if you have a helper hold the pump by the pulley edges with a couple pairs of pliers while heating it. As it heats up the water pump should drop out the bottom. The other alternative is to just buy a new pump assembly w/ a new pretty Gold pulley and be done with it.
