Pulley question

Would any pulley puller work for replacing the s/c pulley? My old man has one that he used to swap out on his cobra. If I would be able to use that, it would make my life a lil easier.

Thanks steve

The pullers that are designed to properly grip the Mini pulley and are also compact will save you lots of grief. There's not much room to work between the pulley and the side of the engine compartment, so small and compact is best. One convertible that I helped with was so tight the puller actually made contact on the side before it finally popped off. Some places will lend or rent you a good puller if you buy the pulley from them. Good luck with the mod!

Get the right puller you don't want to be "that guy" and screw up your supercharger it's expensive.

We rent the puller for free when you buy our pulley.
