I am unable to remove the pulley on my water pump on the 84 Duke. I read threads mentioning removing the bolts. My water pump is off the engine and is sitting on the workbench. there are no bolts to remove. Do I use WD 40? Tapping with a rubber mallet? Prying from behind? Or all of the above? Thanks in advance for all your help!

The bolts it is talking about are the 4 that hold the pulley onto the back plate. The back plate itself is a press fit onto the shaft

These 4 (the ones around the edge):



If they are out a gentle tap should remove the pulley wheel itself.

Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

You will need a puller to get it off most likely

That's true but does it have a flange like that and does the pulley have bolt holes in it or is the pulley just pressed on? If no bolt holes then you'll need a puller I think.

Yes, you can borrow a steering pump pulley puller from chain auto parts stores. Or have a shop swap it.
