in the center of the shaft there is a threaded hole. install a long bolt and use a washer and but to force the pully on.

If you had to remove the old one with a puller then all is well you should have to press on the new one with the bolt and washer set up that comes with a new pump....if your's slides on...I'd suspect a worn shaft pulley on the reman one and or the wrong pump....I'd take it back and exchange it for another one...

if you can slide the pulley off the old pump, AND slide it onto the new pump, have you considered the pulley might be worn? too tight of a belt can cause a press-on pulley to come loose from the shaft.

i bet your old pump isn't even bad. i bet the pulley is spinning right around it.
