having trouble loosening this pulley and removing it. any suggestions?



thanks

 

what motor is that? is that the water pump?

 

d16y8, oil pump

 

Spray some nut buster "PB Blaster" on it and let it soak.

Then pull on the sprocket with your hand while tapping the sprocket with a hammer. You can also have a friend use a screwdriver or prybar in conjunction with you pulling on it and tapping it with a hammer.

That should work.

fear the mullet.

 

so it wouldnt be necessary to buy a pulley puller for $25? it basically should just 'slide' right off?

thanks for your help

 

Just have a bro come over, and slap a flat-head in his hand. Man one yourself, and pry on opposite sides while pulling w/ your hand. It will come off, even though they can be bitches.

 

just wiggle it side to side
