so i called autozone and they say the just have a standard pulley puller but its not specifically for superchargers and he wasn't sure if it would work or not.

soooo who knows? lol

help??

stg2ss

I have one that I used to swap my stock pulley for stage 2 pulley I can sell to you if you want. if not zzp has one as well I belive

Spectral

were doing the install tomorrow and we can do it without one but its sooooo much easier with a puller.

Yeah you either want a pulley or a press. Don't bend that charger! Buy it and try if not return it! Oh yeah give me your H/E!

stg2ss

how are you doing it without a puller? Please dont say your going to use a hammer or something of that effect I knew a guy that did that and ruined the supercharger.

Spectral

im not sure i dont think its going to be a hammer tho lol

04Redline

it's going to be a sledge hammer! Honest performance by my house will do it for 40 bucks if you can't find a way

pulley boys pulley boys pulley boys.

Do you really want to bend the snout and be in the hole for 300-400 bucks?

I'm sorry but if you make that claim I'd like to know how the heck you'd get it off? Pliers and the worlds strongest armenian?

sn!perwolf

actually a press works too

Ahhh...nate ftw.

But nate man...do you make a tensioner depresser yet? I have to check!

But spectral, just make sure they don't bend the snout when they make their executive decision...oh and make sure the hub is flush.

Auto Craft shop will have all the tools that we need that I don't have....they are a private contractor who runs the shop on post and they are well stocked.

Be very care ful if you try!iI work for Autozone and your right we have nothing specific for that.Only 3 jaw pullers. your best bet if your gonna try Autozone is a 3jaw posilock puller.Anything else might be too sloppy

I was thinking of welding a 15mm wrench and cutting it down to fit under the hood...taken the belt off 6 times this weekend.

Dead Zen

tie a rope around the pulley and hook it up to all of your goats. put the sc in a vise and make the run

aja342

hmmmm...I i did just buy a vice. My GTOs are gone but there are a bunch of WRXs on my street.

theneelster

I thought this was a joke until I realized this would probably work. No really...the open end wrenches+short guy leaning over the engine doesn't work often enough to not get a tensioner tool.

I wonder what the dealerships do to get pressed on pulleys off...probably why they bill for 5 hours of work!

Last i remember the autozones around here let you barrow any tool. you have to make a deposit for the amount of the tool and when you bring it back you get your money back. that's actually how i ended up buying my spring compressors. should be able to rent a pully puller.

AzulitoAlero

the three prong generic puller we had at our shop would NOT get mine off...

But the 30 ton press machine in the transmission room did!! Thats what i recommend. Any shop that does trans or advanced engine work should have one, and will prob charge you a half hour labor. it took us 5 mins

Here is my answer to this question... It's a re-post from https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l-lsj-performance-tech-47/pulling-pulley-117893/

got mine done for free compliments of the guys at a local Advance Auto...

Here's what you do... Ask to rent the largest pulley puller they have. You can use that along with an impact wrench to spin it off. I doubt you would ever get it off with a regular wrench or socket, since it's really on there and the shaft spins... Have someone hold the blower, someone hold the pulley puller's jaws (to keep them from spinning or opening), and someone to man the impact wrench. Now be advised this pulley takes a **** ton of force before it finally comes free... To put a hub on the now bare snout, use a power steering pump pulley install tool. I believe the kit I used screwed into the M62 snout with the "Ford" stud that was included. This only will take two people as one person holds the blower and the other person cranks down on the tool with an open ended wrench to slowly push the hub on. The install tool should have a thrust bearing on it so it will not damage the snout, threads, or hub...

The guys at my local Advance Auto Parts were actually soo cool that they took me in the back and the guy used the impact wrench while my buddy and I help the blower and tool. Then I installed the hub right there, and we were ready to go and out the door in ten minutes.

My stock pulley ever soo slightly bent on the inner lip, so if its absolutely imperative that yours not get damaged, it would be wise to get a shop to press it off or use a proper pulley puller with backing plate.

But WTF, why would anyone spend $100 on a tool for a one time use???
