Thread: s/c pulley swap gone wrong

The main bolt on mine (the huge one) the nut somehow got stripped onto it when my pulley was halfway on.. turned into a 2 day project between school and work and a coupld trips to home depot. with the right stuff i made a pulley tool for like les than 10 bucks lol.


anyways, in your case.. lets see the pics

I did the same thing when I pulled my pulley out, I basically put a small Flathead in there and found a spot where the broken stud wouldnt move then I started rotate the hub around(put some penetrating oil) . Surprisingly I was able to drive it out and then needle nosed it out of there. Trust me I was also freaking out luckily enough it work out . ( the Pulley stud should be pretty loose in there ).GLWP (Good Luck with Pull )

I pulled the stud out .. I was supplied with 4 studs when i purchased the puller . I was lucky enough to install on last stud try lol
I did also used a block and hammer to finish the last bit of pulley install, I know its a Big no-no but hell it worked, if you do tap it in be very careful !

How the heck are you guys breaking these? Are these studs actually hardened? You did put a bit of oil on the shaft before you tried pressing them on? I don't remember ever having these issues when I pulled and pressed my hub on...

Thought I would add: Drill, ez out. Probably your best bet.

Typically yes..it flushes. A press would do the trick for you.

why no MPS?

Ahhh, I remember my 3.5" press-on.

Better suited as a paperweight.

I know a guy that might have one for sale...that 4thgencamarofanguy
