power steering pump pulley
I bought a used power steering pump from a salvage yard and the pulley came with the pump but wasn't on the shaft. Inside the shaft is threaded but I can't tell what size bolt to use and was wondering if anyone knew what the thread size is?

I think what he is trying to say is that he needs the boat that holds the pulley on after he uses the installation tool. That's the problem I am having as well. The bolt broke and I thought my pump went out. I replaced the pump and the pulley but can't find a bolt to secure it anywhere

They don't have a bolt. That's probably why you can't find one.
The installer tool is a threaded rod that screws into those threads; then a nut screws down against the pulley, with a bearing to take up the turning force. The corner parts stores "rent" the tool for free. Then when you're through, you take the threaded rod tool out and return it to the store. The pulley will be flush with the end of the pump shaft, and is a REAL TIGHT press fit, such that it doesn't need a bolt at all.
But he was struggling with all that over 11 years ago; I hope he got his figured out sometime since then and it isn't still kicking his butt. Meanwhile, if your pulley is on all the way, then your job is done.
