I purchased a 1986 Porsche 944 NA and the original owner had removed the power steering pump from the car. The pump itself seems fine and I'd like to re-install it but have noticed that the power steering crank pulley appears to be wobbling and off-center.

Any suggestions on what a potential remedy may be? I plan on taking the pulley off this weekend to see if it was bent but wasn't sure if there are any precautions I should consider before removing it.

Would it just be a matter of re-installing it on straight?

Appreciate the help.

It's not too difficult to tighten down the big crank bolt with the pulley not properly keyed to position. If this happens, the pulley keyway may get mooshed (technical term...) and you may simply need to get a new or good-used pulley to replace it.

Thanks! I'm guessing that is the case here. I'll pull the pulley off and likely replace it with a new one.
