I am not a Ford Tech but I am a FSR for Strykers, basically I am a professional mechanic. I also own a 3.7l F150 2wd mine is extended cab not 4 door. I live in El Paso which is 4000 ft up and this matters. I am not sure of your elevation but my Jetta TDI lost 5 mpg from seattle to here and my crown Vic did as well. My F150 has averaged 16mpg in town for most of the time I have owned it. I have owned it only in El Paso so I expect it would get more at lower elevation. I took it on a 600 mile trip and I got 22 mpg with it full of people and camping gear. I was impressed since at lower elevation this would increase. I had a bed cover on the trip too. I put in a K&N air filter just 3 days ago and have monitored my MPG and I am now averaging 18.5 in town. 2.5 better than I was getting. I am considering lowering the truck a few inches to help with fuel mileage but I have not yet. I do have FX wheels and tires on mine instead of the stock tires. These are wider than my stock ones were.

I take it you are removing pulley ?? Leave belt on till break loose.
But you should just need to drain it remove 2 hoses. unbolt from bracket and it will come off.
Try to find the Saginaw conversion pump and hose, they are quite and love large tires.
If you need more help go to www.ford-trucks.com its free to sing up and they will help with any nut and bolt question
Look up lostin90s while there.

It probably isn't an Allen screw. You probably need a pulley puller, because it is a pressed on pulley more than likely.

take the pump off with the bracket still on then you local auto parts house can pull the pully off and you will then get to the bolts behind the pully. it's easier this way, pulling the pully while on the engine will be tough you might have to remove the radiator or it's shroud

Man I not sure I can help from here.
But, did you add fluid to it and see if it stop? It may just be a hose leaking and a lot cheaper than a pump.
Sorry I not know more, I tried to find some pictures.

If you are referring to the power steering pump PULLEY, you need a special pulley puller to remove it, before you can access the three bolts behind the pulley that secure the pump to the mounting bracket. The tool threads into the center of the shaft that looks like it has an allen head that you refer to. Most auto parts stores will "lend" or sell the tool to you. You will also need the installer tool as well to reinstall the pulley onto the new pump once you have it bolted into the mounting bracket. Hope this helps.
