How in the hell does this damn thing come off? I have the Vortech Supercharger pulley and it aint budging. I'm using the puller from Autozone that has the three ends on one side and one on the back. I have bent a steel cheater pipe. This has to be easier than this. Any and all help is appreciated.

This kit is sold and this is the last piece I have to get off so I can ship it out. I told the buyer I would ship out today...please help me.

Come on guys I know someone has pulled one of these off. Please. I literally can't put any more pressure than I already am.

Vortech is still answering the phones in Cali as of this post.

The only thing that they could offer is to use the GM pulley removal tool. They are no help at all for now. Has anyone else had theirs be stuck?

The one I have now I couldn't get the pulley off the car that it was on and the guy was needing to get back home so I had to buy a new one it is $1000 so I would try maybe using heat on it I about sh$t when I found out how much it cost.

This is ridiculous. I know that this one has been on and off of another car before because My car is the second one it was installed on.

Do you think that maybe it slipped around on that key and that's holding it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I'm about to have a shop come and pick it up and let them take it to their shop so they can try and get it off. I'm praying to god I don't have to buy a new one especially at that price. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Yeah I've removed the bolt I know better than that and that is how I was pulling on it with the three long bolts that go through to the back to the AC pulley. Mine is stuck. What kind of puller are you using i.e. what center bolt end. the one that I have has a pointed tip on it.

My puller has a pointed end, I put a large socket over the end of the puller to fit flush against the crank snout.

SJH

You simply unbolt the blower pulley and then use a regular damper puller on it.
Use the 3 long bolts you removed with washers to attach the damper puller to the damper.
I have had mine on and off probably 10 times.
You did remove the crank bolt right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
