Steeda pullies

[Lostcause]

I'm stuck the crank pulley would not come off. Does any one have any tips one on how to take the crank pulley off. Can you use the stock belt our do you have to change the stock belt the belt would not fit with just the alt. and water pump pullies? Any help would be help full thanks.

Need more detail when you ask for help. Is the crank bolt out or in? Are you having a problem with the balancer puller? Give us a little more info to deal with.

The crank could not be removed it will tommorow is there any tricks to help break it loose? It was a PITA and me and a friend could not move it we are going to try agian but it would not move a bit. Any advice we don't have air tools available.

I want to help, but you are still too vague. Is your problem with the BOLT or the BALANCER? Those are two different problems. If the bolt won't break loose, say so. If the bolt is out, but the puller won't break the balancer loose, say so.

The crank could not be removed it will tommorow is there any tricks to help break it loose?

I don't know what that means.

I think you need an impact wrench to change the pulleys.

Yes you need a GOOD impact wrench to change out pulleys, also put your car in 5th gear when your taking them out. After you put on the steeda's you DO NOT need a new belt, your stock one is fine.

The bolt will not break loose at all for now that is what I mean. the alt. and water pump pulleys are on just that the bolt(crank) will not move.

Gotcha. Step 1 would be to put the rear wheels on the ground, drop the transmission into 5th, and seeing if that amount of friction in the drivetrain prevents the motor from turning. Step 2 would be bolting a piece of scrap metal (a 12-18 inch piece of flatbar works) to the pulley using two of the balancer puller bolts and then bracing the bar against something solid (some blocks on the floor work great). That will keep the pulley from moving. Step 3 is either invest in an impact or get a shop to do this for you.

Hope one of those options is feasible.

EDIT- You CANNOT do this with just a ratchet. You should have AT LEAST a 1/2" breaker bar with a foot and a half of handle, and I have needed a 2 foot extension to get that sucker free before.

You need an impact wrench, theres no other way to get it off.

I'm helping him do the pullies. Do you think a breaker bar would do the trick?

Nope, but maybe if it was like 50ft long.

DAMN , DAMN , DAMN

no you dont need an impact wrench to get the pulley if on a 5sp. A breaker bar works fine, or double wrench the bolt. Ive got air tools and I didnt even use them. Just put it in 5th like they said and crank down on that sucker. Just did some steeda pulleys this way a few days ago.

You have given us some hope! We'll find out tommorow when we try a breaker bar if not then one way or another it will come off wether it be by muscle our air shes coming off.

Well whatever you do please god dont snap that bolt off in the crank or else your problems will be MUCH more serious........kinda like MINE CLICK HERE!!

 

[CottonBurnerz]

Just ordered mine just now.. I hope I can do with with my 1.5 foot breaker bar..

I've also read something about going to autozone and let them remove the bolt for you for free?

you need a puller it took me about 10 minutes to do mine, Make sure you puts some silicon on the key or you will have an oil leak

Thanks for the heads up.. Anything else I should look out for? RTV sealant silicone will work fine right? I have the black version..
