Can you get a picture of this please!!!!??? I can not find this for my life. I'm trying to do this right now.

 

Blah hold on. Let me see if I can find somethiing without going outside.

 

And if it is the first one how does that come off?

 

Um wow. Hold on

 

when i take the belt off, i always put it towards the drivers side instead of pulling it right off.

it keeps some tension on the belt to avoid it flopping around and slipping off the other pullies while i throw the new pully on.

then its just a matter of sliding it back over the pully and im done.

done it so many times its like a 5 minute job now.


maybe ill go whip up a video for this.

 

I cant figure out how to get it off in the first place. I got everything after that, just need to get belt slacked. Need help ASAP.

you put the 15mm on the spot circled in the pink and press down and take the belt off and the same to put it back on..you cant miss it its the black nub behind the idler pulley

 

Here.

Push DOWN AND TOWARDS THE FIREWALL on what is shown with the 15mm wrench.

 

Thanks guys. Now is there any really good way to break the seal of the stage 2 bolts?

 

if there locktighted goodluck you'll have to heat them up..the dealer didnt locktight my bolts on they tryed to locktight the pulley on lol

 

Can you apply heat directly to the bolts though? Wouldnt that soften them up to much?

 

The bolts are VERY soft. I would not apply heat to them directly. Try the area around maybe

here you go.
I kinda cheat and just use a bar to take the tension off.

damien do you mind if i use that picture and write up a howto post?

 

Um yea. Vid doesn't work

Go ahead. I actually found that picture in the Turbo Tech Racing mount install how-to. I just edited it

 

lmao i uploaded just the intro

1 second

 

The album is set to private

 

Yup, that's what I just got as well.

 

Ok got it fixed.
heres the quick vid i did for ya.

howto should be up soon too

Sweet, a vid answering my question! Thanks for taking the time to do that An0malous, i'm sure many here will benefit from it.

 

your welcome

 

If you're having a hard time with the pulley bolts........grab a hold of the pulley with a strap wrench (that'll prevent it from moving at all) & then try a longer ratchet/breaker bar to give you more leverage to get the bolts off--make sure the bit is in the bolt securely or else you'll strip it.

Have a buddy help you if possible


I haven't tried it and won't need to since there isn't Loc-Tite on my Stage 2 bolts, but it's just logic

 

Thats what problem I'm having. Had two people do it, one holds the strap wrench to pulley and other torques that bolt off. Thing is we cant get the bolts to break. So right now I'm stumped.

 

Something i havnt hear from anyone is clearance when taking the pulley off. Unless you take the S/C off(which maybe you guys have been), there isnt much room to work with unbolting the pulley.. but once again, I have yet to really give it a try so hopefully it isnt as bad as it looked at my first glance

 

I might just have to do this. Just take off the supercharger and break those bitches off.

 

Hmmmmm....

I watched the tech (Tim @ Saturn of Clarkston) put the pulley on with a ratchet & GM socket with the supercharger on the engine & he had plenty of room to work and took him 1 minute.
Concerning the limited room to work....I don't know how it would really be any different with taking it off???

Unless you have a HUGE ratchet or something or the Redline just a TONS of clearance....I dunno.
But then again.....an0malous just uploaded that video showing him swapping a pulley with the blower on the car

But worst case scenario....just take the blower off & do it that way. It's only a few extra steps (4 bolts for blower & some connections & the clamps for the air box tube)

Was the strap wrench holding the pulley good (like not spinning at all)???

And did you have a huge breaker bar for good leverage???
