so i'm pulling into my driveway today and i hear a loud clunk and then a bunch of plastic pieces hitting the pavement and being dragged. i park it turn it off, notice my belt is dragging a now destroyed pulley. after inspection, found out its my power steering pulley. luckily for me autozone and other places don't sell just the single pulley and their PS pump doesn't come with a pulley attached. the only place i could find it was at a dealership for like +$60. but i know i can hit up a salvage yard right by my house. but anyways....
the car is a 1990 Dodge Dynasty 3.3L. from experience can anyone tell me what my best method is going about fixing this? the area is too cramped to get at it easily, and i'm wondering if the shaft is bent (so far not noticably). i'm gonna push it to my school either tonight or sometime before monday so i can use the lifts and have a shop area. but my questions are:
1) would it be wise to just remove the whole PS setup for a more easy to get at approach?
2) is it a wise idea to just grab a whole new pump if i can find a decent one at the salvage yard and just swap it in (just in case the shaft is bent)
any other comments are appreciated from anyone who has any backround knowledge with the 3.3L
