pulling ls3 water pump pulley out?!?!?!
pulling ls3 water pump pulley out?!?!?! well, installing aster procharger bracket how are you guys pulling the ls3 water pump pulley out for the belt to fit!!! and this is not for me its for a buddy and he is damaging pump pulley using a claw type pulley. thanks aj
I tack welded a large washer onto the part of the pulley that goes over the shaft, then pulled on that with a puller against the shaft. Then I cut it off when done. I used it to make a vette WP pulley work with F-body accesories.
You must use a large 3 jaw puller, a two jaw will not work. After torquing it a little loosen the jaws and relocate them on the pulley to tug roughly center of the old jaw positions. I use a large breaker baron the socket and a pipe between the jaws to keep them from moving while pulling the pulley. Getting it started is always the hard part, but I have never damaged a pulley doing it this way. Also always do this with the pump off the car.
