"Save my bacon" on p/s pump rebuild?

Pishta, Faster74 and Redfish, thank you very much for your help.

I was able to press the pulley on farther by using a big washer that would go over the end of the pump shaft. I wasn't aware that you had to do that. Now I know. "Live and don't learn", that's my motto!

I pressed it on until it spins freely but there is no discernible end play. I hope that will be OK, but do you think I should pull it off a tiny bit to try to get that .02" that Redfish is calling for? I'm thinking it will probably loosen up a bit in use anyway.

It will be a minor miracle if the pump works and doesn't leak after I've had my greasy mitts on it, but I'll be dipped if I can't learn to do a better job than the rebuild outfits do these days!

Would you guys like a follow-up report after the moment of truth?
