Well, I dropped my baby off for Stage 2 install at my local small town Chevy dealer. They couldn't get the pulley off with the press. So I waited overnight and they tried to get a local machiine shop to try it. No Good.
I ended up calling them and telling them about the ZZ Performance Site and they ordered the puller from there. Now I have to wait till MONDAY!!!!

At least they are trying to do it right and not fubaring my snout. I get a car to drive till then, but its still crappy.

Anyone else had this much problem getting Stage 2 done.

 

Nope. My dealer did without puller

 

I have installed several without problems of getting the pulley off. I used a bearing plate under the pulley, then pressed on the shaft, worked great. Now, getting the hub on was another story, but after some searching I found that a Power Steering Pulley installer for a Ford worked. My Snap-On Dealer had one on his truck.

 

bingo agreed, have done at least 6 and no problems

Sounds like ur dealer is a bit

 

I am having a problem gettin the stock pulley off that thing is pressed on so tight it will not budge, used puller, impact, heat etc nothing with get the SOB off any ideas,

 

hydraulic press. We had to use one to pull a billettflow hub off.

 

thats for the idea i will see if I cant locate a shop here that will be to do something like that. Also does anyone know the thread size for the inside of the snout? I have to rechase the damn thread if not no biggie I am sure I will figure it out I just dont have the right bit

 

The impact didn't work? I just used a regular puller and an impact and off that sucker went.

 

nope didnt work used a snap-on 3 grip puller and an impact and no success ended up breaking park of the back lip of the pulley off its like the damn thing is welded on lol.

 

How many miles do you have on your car? It should be noted that me and my buddy had a 3' long 1/2" breaker bar prying for about an hour before I convinced my buddy the impact wouldnt hurt the blower(mainly because we weren't getting anywhere) We were a little leary of using the impact, didn't want to jack up any bearings or anything. But, 2000 miles later no problems and I have 4721 right now. Good luck with yours.

 

i have 1777 miles on it
