3800 TOughest pulley install ever!!!!!

[Royalgtp]

I had a member try to take my 3.4 pulley off last night and we were unsucsesfull.

He has done it on his car numerous times very easily. We tried with all of our might and all we did was strip the internal threads on the tools main stud.


The pulley was on the car when I bought it. Its got about 50k on it. Probley on of the original pulleys available at the time.

Any clue as to how to get it off better? the 3.4 is 2 slow for me these days....I need my 3.2 on....heh.........


Alex or bumpin lets schedual a time to get this MF off......

There is a mod day at Miller's tomorrow. And...I borrowed a pulley tool to change my pulley last time to a MPS. I let the car sit overnight, so it was completely cooled down before I attempted it. If the car was the slightest bit warm, it can be a struggle to get it off. Don't forget to bake the new hub in the oven for at least 1/2 hour before you try to install.

sounds like someone didnt put anti-sieze on when they did the previous install.

My unexperienced opinions would be to soak it with wd-40. Make sure the car is cold, and worse comes to worse, try and ice down the pulley and shaft for a while. Then try and take it off.

Royals. I will be at millers all day tomorrow. and will be doing some installs. please stop by and I will look at it for you..also let the car sit for a while or ice the shaft down..


The cooler the car is the easier it will be to remove.

Swing by tmorrow and bring a bag of ice..

Yeah the car was warm but we put a bag of ice on it. Sorry about that john i feel like a ass because i could not get it off.... h34r:

May be time to cut your losses on the OEM style pulleys and go to a BUB Quick change set up. All that cranking on the snout reeks havock on the bearing.

If all else fails then it my be time to surgically remove it with a dremmel tool.
