Pulley Question

CTown Stang · December 26th, 2007, 01:52 PM

Im trying to install underdrive pulleys on my car. I put on the alternator and the water pump pulleys but I cant get the bolt off of the crankshaft pully. When I try to take off the bolt it just spins the pulley and the bolt dosent come off. My car is an automatic and I had it in gear when I did this. Any sugestions on how to get it off?

I also tried an impact wrench but that didnt work either. WTF?

Impact should have worked. Go and get a Harmonic Balancer Removal tool. It should work for ya.

I had to use a swivel to get the socket on there and dont know if that had to do with why it didnt come off.

Very possible.

try using a old style chain type oil filter removal tool. you can wrap it around the pulley while u try to get the nut off. also, spray the nut with liquid wrench

Yeah Dude If The Impact Wrench Did Not Work Then I Would Not Be Able To Tell You Anything But Like You Said The Way You Have The Swivel On There Its Taking Power Away From The Impact Gun........ya Know Try Maybe Removing The Radiator And Condensor And Go Straght In Front Of The Bumper With A Good Socket.......good Luck

Do you turn the bolt the oppisite way (to the right to loosen)? Thats what I read on another thread.

It could be left handed thread. I dont know.

I took the radiator fan off to give me more room. I tried the impact wrench but still no luck. Any suggestions?

i just did this the easy way to do it is have someone stick a screwdriver where it will hold it from turning and you get under the car with a 18mm(?) and pull like hell! it took me more time to get that off than the rest of the mod. make sure u have the 3 prong harmonic dampener puller to get the pully off cant do with out it
