shouldn't be hard as long as you take off all the accessory belts first. that's how you mess up the center, by the way.

does it go on the snout of the crank because my crank doesn't hang out past the balance belt pulley

Do you have the right crank? The crank snout on the manual steering cars doesn't have a shoulder for a PS pulley

I don't believe it was the result of anything I did to make it so uneven on the inside. I think it was more wear and tear from the PS mount's broken bolts and skewed installation (due to the previous owner's collision) than anything I could have done. That's why I asked the question above. I don't think *I* did anything to make that happen.
It should come off fairly easy though. sometimes, a little tug or tap was needed, but never a lot of force. |

I believe some 83 cars had power steering as an option and all 84 and up had power steering.
