Default Bent pulley on water pump.

Hey, just discovered that I have a bent pulley on my water pump. Does anybody happen to have one laying around for a 6.0l? Or where could I go get one? Is that one of the pulleys if you get an underdrive pulley set? Thanks. Tim

Doesnt come with an underdrive. Its pressed on to the pump.

How did it get bent? Might just want to replace the pump, they are around $130, fyi.

Thanks for the offer on the water pump, but if at all possible, I'd like to find just the pulley. I called Autozone, and they have one, but it's $50. Too much for a pulley if you ask me. Only thing wrong with mine is that the outer edge got mangled a little bit by some vice grips, when I was trying to take off the clutch fan. At the time I didn't have a belt to put on it to hold it still, so being impatient, I did that. Unfortunately, I think that may be why my belt it squealing and wore out. Maybe not tho. Didn't start squealing until I flushed the coolant and it got on the belt. I guess it puts a film on the belt, from what I've been told. Thanks for the replies.

I don't think there is any way under normal circumstances for the pulley to get bent. Are you sure its not the water pump bearing going bad and causing a wobble that makes the pulley look bent? How many miles on it? Once they get around 100k the water pumps usually start leaking or a bearing goes bad which causes it to leak.
