how to remove powersteering pump pulley

Tricks are for steel pulleys. Although you could make it work for a plastic pulley. You would concentrate on gently warming the shaft, not the pulley.

But (much like when Tony looks in the mirror)-- the shaft is too small But seriously... It'd be pretty hard to isolate all the heat to JUST the shaft.

Not really, touch the shaft with another piece of metal and heat that and let it transfer. Hair dryer or heat gun also comes to mind on the plastic pulleys. Just got to be creative Chris, thats all.

Well we all might learn something though out of this, or at least have some other options to try next time before breaking the pulley.
