Even when I was a kid I never broke one. If you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground I suppose it is possible.
From my perspective it is a theoretical proposition.

I know this doesn't help Jim find a new pulley, but when taking these parts somewhere it may be instructive to inquire how they plan to proceed. For those pumps I used a homemade puller which hung on the wall amongst my other homemade Packard tools. Today I'm in Detroit using homemade tools to sort out all this computer controlled crap.

I know these plastic fantastic modern cars don't inspire emotion like those old Packards, but the working environment is a lot more pleasant and since that takes up most of my day it wins out over the cars.
