Here's the tool needed to remove the power steering pump pulley.
Performance Tool W87020 - Pulley Puller | O'Reilly Auto Parts
NEVER hammer on the shaft to remove or install the PS pump pulley.
Also, be careful when re-installing the pulley that the correct tool is used. Late model Fords use a metric thread. The older tool will appear to work. But the tool will only engage a thread or two which will pull out when pressure is applied. The correct tool will engage a bunch of threads inside the shaft.
I really suspect that access will be much better after the pulley is removed.
