My stock supercharger pulley seems to have siezed onto the shaft. I am using the puller from Webb Motorsports, along with a regular "crow's foot" pulley puller. The pulley is on the shaft so tight that I broke the puller tool. The metal "crow's foot" broke in half. Then I went and bought a Craftsman puller which hopefully will be stronger. It hasn't broken yet but the pulley still won't come off. It's been quite frustrating to say the least. Anyone have any tips? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Do you have a bolt in the charger shaft for the puller to rest against? If not, the center screw on your puller may be siezing on the shaft and causing the resistance. The pulley should come off easily after the inital "pop".
Thanks for the replies. I will try some heat, as well as putting a bolt in the center of the shaft. And yes, the clamp part of the puller (on loan from Webb) is made especially for this pulley.
same thing happened to me!!! damn advanced auto parts crows foot. thing was a piece of junk. snapped right in half. no wonder it cost 12 dollars. i went and got a craftsman and it worked. the bolts started to bend a little though. .
Not sure exactly why it worked, but I tried it again the same way but this time I screwed in a small bolt into the shaft. Didn't need to resort to anything extreme. Thanks for everyone's replies.
