Is there a trick to removing the power steering pulley? My pressure line sprung some leaks so I'm trying to replace it and need the pulley off to have clearance to remove the hose. I took off the three bolts and thought it should wiggle off but it didn't. I threw some WD-40 on there a few days ago and let it soak. Tried using a pulley remover but still no luck. My next thought is to use some heat on it but I'm a little hesitant to do that in such a tight spot.
