3800 Accesory Pulley Replacement

[EmersonHart13]

My brother is trying to replace an accessory pulley. He is using an allen key on a bolt in the center. Is it reverse threaded? This is for the supercharger belt, not the accesories.

Thanks...

Okay, hmm. Then those damn plastic pulleys are on tight! Any tips on how to get them off?

see if you can get the allen socket for a 3/8s rachet. more torque to loosn it up.

the accessory belt is the one thats reverse thread.

why does he have a allen bolt holding it in? should be a 15mm.

Emersonhart, I have the same problem, mine makes noise like a biatch, but I cant find a way to get it off, im gonna be watching this thread.

It is an allen bolt holding it in, I replaced a tensioner that was a 15mm bolt.

Just have to find the right combo that will fit in that space.
Torq bit + socket + ratchet + pipe on ratchet for leverage = 'you can dooo iiittt'

SaturdayGS - you're pretty close to my place, arent you (Hanover Park)? If you want, stop by and we will replace that pulley.
