when we've done it we used a pully puller kit, or a press.
press made it really easy :P

but on the inside of the new pump there is a thread i just couldnt see it being pressed cause you need to get the pully off to be able to get the pump off

you dont need the pulley off to take the pump out.

I just got a new pulley with the new pump ($10 extra) and pressed that on.

i've never taken the pully off to take the pump off.

Sometimes with aftermarket pumps they don't come with a pully. Ford has a special tool for removing and installing the pully. They are just a press on fit as others have said. the problem with the plastic ones is they tend to shatter when being pulled off.
