Removing the power steering pulley
Attempting to remove the power steering pulley, as you can see from the photo some damage has already been done. Before more is done, can anyone tell me if this is left handed or right handed? Should the radiator come out first? Don't want to strip it down even more. Thank you all in advance.

Right handed (you can even see that in your excellent picture).
Looks like someone tried locking pliers ("Vise-Grips") on that. You might consider picking up a 6-pt socket of the correct size. You might need to lightly deburr the nut with a file to get the socket to fit. Don't go for "neatness," you want the socket to fit snugly.
