Thread: pulley puller

Ok, so I made my pulley puller. I prob. WAY over engineered it. I made it out of 1/2" plate steel. It has 4 perimeter bolts (5/16") For the center bolt, I used a standard puller bolt that had a hole in the center. I TIG welded an 8 mm stud to the end of it. I made a "bearing plate" out of a used bearing and a washer. I'll take pics. and load them. I won't get to try it till this weekend. I hope the 1/2" plate isn't too thick to fit behind the pulley, as I built this with the supercharger elsewhere. Think I'll be ok?

wow, what size are your four little bolts? 5/16-3/8? I can't see this thing bending... but, like I said, I never took one of these off. I honestly had to sit and think about how it was going to work.

Hmm...I heard it was 10,000 pounds of pressure...or 5 tons...but who knows.

either way, that's alot. I guess this bearing idea should work pretty good then. Does it go on that hard?

^lube your shaft up before sliding it on in other words.
