Power steering pulley removal/installation

I need to change my pump with a refurbished one.
I already googled it and found the link you posted, I was wondering if anybody figured out if Volvo used Ford or GM dimensions... or some weird stuff.

You can rent those types of universal tools from Napa or possibly an oreillys
I know.
Some weird stuff on the outside dimensions. The GM and Ford pullers ALMOST fit, but will pull the lip off the soft Volvo pulley.
Inside diameter is standard Saginaw.
Ok, so can you tell me what tool you used to remove and install the pulley on the power steering pump?

I've always just used a press. I suppose you could rig something up with a good sized two jaw puller.
A modified puller, like the link above. I only had to destroy one pulley to learn this.
I tried a Posi-Lock 3-jaw puller, and it just pulled through the lip. The Volvo press fit it a bit tighter than most of the standard Saginaw stuff I measured.
I made a pulley hub for a 5.0 conversion, and it's .0015in larger on the ID, and it still does the job just fine. Still requires a press and a puller.
