Is it possible for the Pulley and the power steering pump to be defective at the same time in my 1999, Ford Crown Victoria?
It seems that when the Mechanic repairs one thing in my 99 Ford Crown Victoria, another thing goes bad. The pulley which was replaced, kept coming off. Please help me. I am now with out transportation. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Well let me explain if? the pulley was spiining on thr shaft to begin with on the pump..putting a new pulley on a worn shaft won;t work!! there is 2 ways to fix this!! one is if this is the case then you can use JB weld around the shaft and i mean use it and even put some inside the pulley then put the pulley back on the shaft let set for 4-6 hours before running the engine also you can go to a manchine shop or a parts store and ask for a roll of brass shim stock about .03-.05 thousand's and rapped a few times around the shaft to create a tight fit when you press the pulley back on making sure you leave about a 1/4 inch extended past the end of the shaft so it will go in the pulley on install

Follow this steps
The items you will need include basic hand tools, shop rags, gloves, drip pan, fluid suction gun, power steering pump pulley removal tool, power steering pump pulley installation tool, power steering fluid, and a Haynes manual.
Use a suction gun to remove the power steering fluid.
Position a drip pan under the pump and disconnect the high pressure line and fluid return hose. Cap the ends of the lines.
Loosen the serpentine belt and slip it out of the power steering pump pulley. Replace any worn belts at this time.
Remove the bolts and nuts that hold the pump onto the engine.
Remove the pump. Now remove the pulley from the pump. To do this, use a power steering pump pulley removal tool. If you don't have one, you can rent one from Advance Auto Parts.
Remove the nuts to detach the pump from the brackets.
Reattach the bracket to the new pump. Reinstall the pulley.
Bolt the pump back into place. Slip the belt back onto the pulley and retighten. Reattach the high pressure line and return fluid hose.
Now fill the power steering fluid reservoir until it reaches to the proper level. Now start the vehicle. Recheck the fluid and add if necessary. Turn the wheels left and right a couple of times. So that's it, you are done. Test the vehicle to make sure it functions properly.
