Stroked I got you covered! Heat the pully up with a propane torch and it will slip off very easy! I was amazed myself how effective it was. I called Vortech when I swapped my pully, and that is how vortech reccomend's the change out. ~Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddle Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 thanks buddy. i'll try that tomorrow...now when i go to put new pulley on does it just press on? Jus heat up the new pully and push it on by hand, make sure it goes on all the way.you could even have somebody hold Ice on the blower shaft while you heat the pully. Let me know how it works out! I switched for 3.3 down to a 2.8, You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ive never had to use heat and ive done countless pulley removals, i wouldnt use alot of heat because the seal that is right behind the pulley going into the gear drive. use a jaw puller , but what i do is i put a small bit of grease on the shaft before i install a pulley that way its easy to swap next time.
