    so i thought i knew what i was doing when i borrowed a friends pulley.. Somehow the m8 little stud that drives into the snout is now completely stuck in the snout. There is no way to get it out. and the new pulley is halfway on the snout. What else could possibly go wrong. Any ideas?

    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.

    100% AGREE! For all the trouble, you could have pressed a hub on there and never had to do it again.
