removing asp pulley...
removing asp pulley... Got the puller from autozone yesterday. Went to Lowes and got the correct size bolts as well...cause the kit sure as hell did not come with them. I am trying to get the pulley off now...my question is; how hard do you have to turn this damn thing to get the asp pulley? I got it pretty damn tight a little bit ago, but I am afraid that I am going to brake somethin if I keep crankin on it. Do I just have to give it all hell to get this thing off? I am doing something wrong?
Just keep cranking on that bolt until the pulley starts kreeping forward. Make sure the three bolts in the pulley are at the same depth so the tool can be evenly distributing the load being applied.
Stupid question but, you are loosening the crank bolt a little first so the pulley can travel?

Any step by step instructions for taking off the ASP? I know its a really simple thing to do...but I was not the one who installed it. Plus I have never delt with balances before.
Kory, I tried sending you a PM, but your PM box is full.
You've got the right idea though. First, thread in the 1" longer crank bolt, then place the puller tool on the pulley with the 3 bolts. Next, you tighten the puller bolt so it can push against the head of the crank bolt, this will slide the pulley off the crank. Be sure that the pulley bolt stays straight when making contact with the crank bolt head so it won't deform/bend when applying the torque needed to remove the pulley. You will need to use a good amount of muscle (leverage works wonders) to get the pulley to start sliding off the crank snout.

When you put it back on, heat it up. Some put it in the oven @ 200 degrees or so. It's better to just heat the I.D. of the bore with a propane torch. It will go on much easier this way. BTW, you can put it on by using the original crank bolt. The bore in the ASP pulley is stepped. This allows it to go on half way before it gets tight. That means it's on far enough for the crank bolt to get some thread engagement. Just turn the bolt until the pulley is on, then remove the original bolt, install the new crank bolt & torque it to spec..

Just be sure to go slow when seating the pulley on the crank with the original bolt, you wouldn't want to screw up the threads in the crank. Torque the bolt slowly and you should be ok.

I received mine yesterday and no bolt was included.
