What can i use to take the stage 2 pulley off if i dont have the bit becasue my gay dealer took it.

martinsmu

As far as I know, you need that key to take ure pulley off... Go to the dealer and demand it back!! Thats what I had to do...

Congrats on the 2.9, I have the same and looks awsome!!

Connor05

lol damn looks like im going to have to go there

martinsmu

Yeah, jsut go back and demand for it. My mechanic was like "well I thought I'd keep it incase you would loose it??"

Connor05

Lmao

martinsmu

yeah what a douch... Another tech was like "yeah he wanted to add tools to his toolbox" But I will add he did an excellent job installing it!!

braineater

while i am not mechanically inclined at all i watch my buddy change my injectors and pulley and it didnt look that hard at all, he had both done in less then an hour. now that time doesnt include tuning of course

Connor05

yea im doing my pulley with my spark plugs so i dont know how long it will take, im a noob when it comes to this stuff but im pretty good with hands on jobs and i did alot of research.

braineater

if you have a pulley puller and air tools it will be a breeze!

edit: whoops, you are talking about changing a stage 2 pulley, i was talking about taking off the stock pulley.

What key are you talking about? If he has a stage 2 pulley already on I didnt think you needed anything special to take the pulley off cept for an allen wrench or torx headed wrench for the 4 pulley bolts (I never looked on mine what kind of head the 4 bolts have).

these cars are cake to work on. probably the only good thing about them..
unless they handle turbo boost like a champ. i'll let you guys know soon.. constantly exchanging e-mails with Hahn... in anticipation of my soon to be turbo beast. (or blown up turbo balt )

Thanks, I got the stock injectors, pulley and belt back from dealer, but they of course didnt have the bolt bit in the bag. Hopefully they got one laying around or can get one for me as the parts manager there is a buddy of mine so it shouldnt be a problem. Anyone know if those bits only come in the kits and if one fits all gm bolts they use for S2 pulley?. I dont feel like drilling out the old ones especially if they were loctited in by dealer.

martinsmu

Yeah pulley puller is needed to take off the stpck pulley. But like Nate said, you could always drill them out if the dealer refuses to return them. I cant see that happenning though. Good luck!

I think the dealers keep them (the tools) because they don't want you messing with them. That is why they are the weird shape to begin with.

Area47

go to crateenginedepot.com
look up the part number under the stage 2 kit for the tools.

there is two of them, the one you want is the one that fits onto a 3/8's ratchet

martinsmu

You want them both bro. Beleive me, ask for both!!

dealerships suck

sscobaltscZ06

Yes I saw in the picture there are actually 2 bits. 4 bolts and 2 different bits? What are they like lug nut locks and they have different keys patterns for the same pulley bolts on one car?

donjuaniii

Those bits are part of the kit, so technically if your tech or dealer kept them, they committed the crime of theft...

The Service Instructions even mention that the "Screw bits to remain with the customer upon completion of installation"...but I guess are schools aren't doing to good on teaching reading comprehension skills...

I had to "remind" mine after the install

Red2.4SS/SC

a press

sscobaltscZ06

I forgot to get my old injectors and pulley and they saved that stuff for me and I got it later, I think he just flat out forgot about the bits. Anyway, they have them for me, I just need to go get em. I actually can take the bolts out without the bits after looking at them.

now to get Nates pulley ordered and find someone to tune it here in Northern California.

Connor05

im going to get my 2.9 and plugs installed see how they run and my next mod will be invested into a tune by tune time performance.

I bought my cobalt used with the stg2 kit and the pulley screws were stripped so I had to drill and use a bolt extractor from AutoZone. PITA!!!
