Removing Crank Pulley

[Boosted_162]

Had a search, but couldnt find anything that related.

Trying to get the crank pulley off my spare motor. The bolt is out, but cant get the pulley off. Any tips?

pulley puller, or drench it in crc and tap different areas of the pulley with a rubber mallet, (softly)

At the same point with my Blacktop.

Have been told to CRC it then use a couple of levers to gently force it off. (I can see this ending in tears )


Pulley puller FTW though.

The worst part is, i cant break it. Only reason im taking it off is because RedMist needs one.

Ill see if i can get a puller.

I think hire places do them (cowleys etc)

or theyre around 40 buks new

Im not too keen on buying something for $40, to get something off that im selling for $40

I have a feeling we have an ancient set round here somewhere, ill have to look.

even an axle puller will do the trick, definitely EXTREMELY hard to get off otherwise. i spent a whole afternoon trying to get one off every way possible once, got an axle puller and had it off in 10 minutes without breaking a sweat

put engine at tdc
take spark plug out of cylinder where piston is at the bottom
get a soft nylon rope and feed it into the bore
then rotate the engine by hand
then get power bar onto it

works everytime

Just make a puller, easy as.

I have not got a picture of mine but works mint.

It's just a piece of flat bar steel with three hole drilled into it for the bolts, and the right length bolts and nuts that i found in the garage.
Two that go through the bar and bolt into the pulley,
and the centre one has a nut on the pulley side of the bar so as you screw
the centre bolt in, it pushes on the crank pulley bolt ( leave the pulley bolt in a few turns from the end )

one I get the centre bolt loose it only takes about a minute to attch the puller and pull it off.

Would post a pic but it's all packed away in my race stuff ready to go away for the weekend.

You might need to sacrifice an imperial spanner for your plate, as I had 5mm mild steel plate bent while trying to take off the pulley on a 20v. Imperial spanners are useless anyways (except maybe above 1" - good for smacking things and chucking in anger ).

[Boosted_162]

I actually found a puller of some sort, had a big bolt in the middle with 2 arms (crap description), but even that couldnt get it off . Must be on real hard.

Si: Ill take you up on that offer. You free wednesday?
