How do i get this off now?!

 

get some botls to stick the hole, and the remains of the hole - also you can try the old style "strap" oil filter removal tool - i had this happen to me a while back - just like that- what a PIA.

 

thanks for the tip, just tryed the oil filter strap thing. It snapped the strap. GREAT!!!

 

happend to me before and only thing i had to work with is the metal that the plastic connected too. Use like vise grips, or that oil filter tool around the metal part. and u need an air gun with alot of psi on max power, and let it charge up to full psi and click it a buncha times in a row while someone tryies to hold the vice grips tight. if u cud get it to spin faster then the metal part on the pulley it shud come loose

 

thanks man...dont have access to air tools though :O

 

:O

ask around someone locally has to have one.

if not u shud buy one, really, makes alot of car work much easier, like especially suspension/brake work, exhaust bolts, and other bolts torqued on at a million ft/lbs, u name it. u cud pick up just a gun by it self at a local hardware store for like 30-40 bucks.

But the most expensive thing wud be an air compressor, but most people shud already have one in their garage, even if its small. it shud work for the job u need.

 

i never use the air gun for tightening bolts tho. always a bad idea...unless im getting a long bolt that has a way to go that a hand tool wud take too long to do, but then i use the hand tool once ive closed the gap, just to be sure.

 

Also use a electrical impact wrench " sears have one" is like the air impact wrench with out the air, it will rmvd quick, works all the time

 

Off topic, but how did it split like that ? Mine looked like that after I went postal on it when I was removing my PS for good.

 

You can get a cheap airgun for $20 and an airtank for about the same. Charge the airtank to over 100 psi and then go at it with the air gun. I've never had to hold the pulley, I just blast the nut off before I remove the belt

 

Probably had a screwdriver wedged through the hole and then tried to get the nut loose. These pulleys always break. I would never remove one with anything but an impact gun.

 

no i made my own version of the SST in the FSM - but it snapped the fooking pulley!

damn it...im done for tonight anyway, Stopped after that next little episode. Next bit is to remove the exhaust system. Fun!!

 

exhaust eh? like i said, buy an air gun! damon said u cud get em for cheap

 

Im in the UK. We get ripped off for everything. A compresser and air gun is going to cost me 5-600 of your american dollars, which i dont have.

 

WOHOO did it!

Used a oil filter strap wrench, one with the chain (rather than a leather strap) also used the old leather strap from the last oil filter wrench to provide the grip. Worked a treat - actually came off prettty easy!

thanks guys..
