I need this done

[Slow99x]

So I finally got my return today and I need to get some stuff done. I have a RR 2.8 upper pully that I have been trying to install myself but I keep breaking the pully tool. I'm not using the wrong one just incase you were wondering. I need someone that has done a few of these and has run into some that are stubborn. I also need some prices on installing some MM full length subframe connectors. After these are done I will go for a tune to KMS. Thanks for the help.

try heating the shaft that the pulley rests on ..done this many times on pulleys that were seized on


the metal will shrink ever so slightly and might help:biggthump

You meant to say heat the pulley so it expands slightly. right?

I would get a chunk of dry ice and pack it on the blower snout/shaft so it shrinks.

I think Heating the Aluminum pulley may distort it.And that needs to be concentric.

But I have never had..... so just my .02

Yeah I don't want to bother doing this myself anymore. After two tries I'm done.

:lmao:haha i didnt read what i had typed.. yes apply heat to the pulley at the hub so it will expand and hopefully free itself enough to be removed .

If it is an aluminum pulley without a steel hub, removing it will destroy it.

The BilletFLow pulley removing tool will pop a stocker off in short order.

I have the LFP pulley removal tool and I keep breaking the threaded shaft that goes into the snout.

Like someone before said... take the car out, ride it hard for a bit and then while the blower is all nice and hot try taking it off. But, unlike what they said - this will not shrink anything (as the heat actually causes metals to expand) - but, it will "soften up the metals" - so you should be able to pull it off then. You can also rent a pair of bearing pullers from any auto store and use them to take the pulley off. Only time you have to use the threads is to mount a new pulley on there. They are used to press the pulley in so you do not try to beat it on the shaft, and in doing so ruin the bearings and gears that are attached to the shaft.
So, just get a big set of bearing pullers from an auto store, let everything warm up nice, and then take that fucker off. (this is assuming that you do not care about preserving the stocker)
