<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (FKN16v @ Jul 18 2008, 07:57 AM) </div>I spent a while doing a sort of wedge behind pulley then leaver, turn 90 degrees repeat but ended up getting nowhere maybe I wasn't being harsh enough but I didn't want to damage anything.
I would have heated it up but I don't have access to anything which I can do it with unfortunately.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (gunbz-r @ Jul 18 2008, 08:28 AM) </div>After a while of trying the method I said above I gave up and decided to do what you did although I used an M6x1 tap not that it makes a huge amount of difference just that its a much more common size.
Anyhow, this was the result:
And here is the puller thing I made and the pulley itself:
The reason there are so many nuts on the bolts is because I had to gradually space the bolts up as it came further out because I didn't want to drill and tap all the way through the pulley.
It was so well stuck that I needed to use the puller all the way to the end of the shaft, I don't think it was ever in fact stuck fast, its just a SUPER tight pulley this one.
In any event I've got a couple more questions for those have been so helpful to respond:
1. When putting it all back together again, should I use my spare bottom timing pulley (which just slides on relatively easy) instead of this one because I may have weakened it from the drilling and tapping?
2. It would look to me that oil seal behind that pulley has seen better days as thought, what's a good technique for getting the thing out to put a new one in?
Thanks everybody :2thumbs:
