R50/53 CravenSpeed Pulley Tool Problem
CravenSpeed Pulley Tool Problem
Wondering If im alone on this one.
But after years and years of being absent from the mini game, I picked up another last week.
Went to do a 15% CravenSpeed Pulley today and ran into an issue I havent had before.
Purchased the puller tool from Amazon when I got the pulley.
Used the ground strap 13mm like I have in the past on the charger shaft. Went Lined up the tool used a strap wrench to hold it in place (Learned that trick from mod mini)
Started to torque it down and about maybe 1/4 inch into the process...snap.
The bolt sheared off on the tool.
Everything was aligned properly...bolt just failed on me.
To make matters worse the way the bolt snapped in the tool I couldn't seem to drill it out. Ended up grinding it off.
Then started to grind off the OEM pulley but called it a night before I could finish the cut on the other side.
Tried to search, but didnt seem to find anyone with as bad luck using the cravenspeed puller as I had. Maybe it was just a suspect bolt.
