Cracked pulley.

Discovered this yesterday when swapping out my radiator.

Good catch
That would have caused some damage.

Makes one wonder what would cause that.

Uhhh, okay.
Are you just telling us or are you asking for help?

Just saying! This is a Chinese power steering pump from ebay. The original has a steel pulley . Buyer beware!

Your first post gave almost zero information, just a picture and a short announcement. This leaves a viewer with very little to understand.
Buyer beware? How about a product name, a vendor name, anything ? If your point was to help, it would be appreciated if you were more expressive.

You're right. Can't help much on the details it was purchased on ebay a long time ago. But I did keep my old pump. So I'm hoping that I can put my steel pulley on this Chinese pump. And it's a lesson learned. By going the cheap route. Pretty much a heads up post. My apologies.

Now...you say you have learned your lesson by going the cheap route but you will reinstall the Chinese pump?
Lesson #2 to follow....

What are the odds the shaft is the same size as your old one ? Chinese measure with a wooden yard stick , well made parts are measured with a micrometer

I don't know if it will fit. But the pump works flawlessly. I'm positive that I can make it work. I have a machine shop at work if the shaft and pulley don't exactly match up...

the Chinese shaft was .042" smaller.. bored out the pulley and pressed in and tack welded a 4130 chromoly bushing and bored it to press fit the shaft.
