My wife told me that the motor (in my 95 GT Conv)got hot and them started making noise when I got the car home from her being stranded. I pulled the passenger side valve cover and found a bant push rod and the Crane 1.7 rocker beat all to heck. Then I noticed the spring was still slightly depressed so I figured the piston slapped a valve (Intake/cyl#2)and bent it. I wish that was the extent of it. Well, Off came the head and I then found intake valve #2 bent, as suspected, and the head of intake valve #3 had broken off leaving the stem and imbebbing the head in the piston   . I then went to take off the drivers side head and ran into a problem. How do i get the power steering pully off to get the bolt out of the bracket that goes into the head? I would post pics. but I dont see it as an option. Thanks for the help in advance.

can you rotate the pulley ?  There should be access holes through the pulley

You may have to remove the bolt and bracket as one piece.
