Ok...update...

I got a impact gun in there and got a good shot on one of the bolts and it DID NOT break it loose. Im really surprised the bit hasnt broken or stripped a head with all this. The problem is the pulley cannot stay locked down without moving even with the impact on it.

My buddy who is the parts manager at the dealer where it was bought said any tampering with those blue bolts will void any engine warrranty claims. He said they look at the heads and can tell if someone has removed and put back on the bolts to change pullies.

So...I will give it one more shot tomorrow taking off the belt and applying torch till the bolt heads glow and if that doesnt work I have a 2.85 pulley for sale!

 

id go by the dealer if i was you. they might laugh at ya, depending on the dealer, but it doesnt hurt to try. if all else fails, but the heads off of the bolts and take the pulley off then the rest of the bolt is easy to get outta the hub.

 

bs cant void warranty for that if somthing breaks they have to prove what you did broke it

 

Yes you are correct, but they put those bolts on for a reason so they are ruined when taken off and put back on and ive already seen someone get screwed on some warranty work because of it. It all depends on the dealer is all, most probably wouldnt care.

I have never seen any new bolt this hard to remove before and ive been wrenching on race cars for 35 years and have seen some real doozies stuck.

Im making a tool tomorrow that will positivley lock the pulley so it wont turn while bolts are busted loose.

 

That loc tite is a bitch. We had to do a lot.

Yeah we got it on before July 7th. about a week before. Three out of the 4 bolts were taken out, but the 4th one was stripped and it had loc-tite. We chisled, and used a drill to get the screw out. Took about 2.5 hours of labor to do so. Drilling, and chisling, and mroe drilling, and pulling. We were going to just take the whole damn SC out, but we decided not to. We just kept hammering away until the bolt came out.


Dealer wont due anything. we tried that as well. They just flat out said no, they won't do it.

 

I had forgotten what red/green loctite removal torque was and its ALOT. Even though I heated the bolts I didnt get it hot enough because the belt was still on, so ill remove it next and nuke the bolts and that should do it.

268 High Strength Threadlocker Red or green removal is 360 ft/lbs torque! If its heated up to 450 degrees it should break free easily while hot with very little torque required.

There aint no way the bolts are coming loose even with an impact gun unless they are heated and removed hot when loctite red/green is used.

 

UPDATE:

Well I have given up on breaking them loose!

Apparantly the tech used red or green loctite on them and even after heating them up with a 1700 degree torch for 30 seconds we still cannot break them free using a 18" breaker bar. You have to heat them up to melt the red/green loctite as with it dry they have a breakway torque of 400+ ft/lbs. I now suspect the tech using jb weld on the threads.

I am not pulling the S/C off to cut them off.

Anyone need a Nates 2.85 pulley local in San Francisco east bay as I have one that just went up for sale...

 

holy **** that sucks... i guess its gms way of telling u not to go lower LOL
