ok so i know i need a pulley puller to get the stock puller off...do i need a press to get the new hub on? how did yall do it if not?

 

Easiest way is to use a press and bearing splitter to pull the old pulley/hub off, and then use a GM power steering pump pulley installer tool to install the new pulley. Rent one from autozone for free if you need to, its much safer that way. It has a bearing collar deal that threads into the blower shaft, then you turn the collar nut down on it which pulls the pulley on safely. You can't put it on with a press correctly, you risk damaging the housing or bearings in the blower as they are forced to take a load that they shouldn't see.

 

bump just for comparisons

 

removed it same way....hammered my stock one on.

lol i dont suggest it.

 

ok so all that being said is the zzp pulley tool the way to go?

 

Actually the smoothflow pulley tool is pretty sweet for removing/installing pulleys! I offer rentals, please contact me if you're interested.
