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

DamonB

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.

BobfisH

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!!

PhatManBUD

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

BobfisH

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.

BobfisH

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..
