vortech pulley swap

[spederman]

do you need a pulley puller to get off a supercharger pulley on a vortech s trim? or will it just slide off after i take off the bolt?

It should come off freely.

it "should" come off easily, and it probably will. mine though, was a PITA. it took a good 20-30 min of slowly prying on it from different angles for it to finally come off. after i got it off i put some anti-seize on the shaft as to help not have that problem again.

sweet, hopefully it pops right off. I dont have very many miles on it since the last swap. Now only if amazon would hurry up and ship my new impact wrench.

Do you still have the belt on? You should be able to loosen the bolt, as long as the belt isn't slipping on the pulley. Might have to really get the tensioner tight for that though?

ive got the engine torn down to the shortblock, so i'll need an impact now for sure. Oh well, gave me a reason to buy an impact wrench, lol.
