Water pump pulley fell off

Has anyone been able to get one back on while the pump is still on the engine?

I dont think you can press it while on the truck. I understand to press it back you need to remove rear cover and support the shaft with socket so it dosent press through.

Tig would be better. But you should be able to with the mig just crank the temp on it since its a 120v. Dont for get to use the wet rag to keep temp down.
