which one do i use? i know i use the jawas and the oring. I don't remember which one the guy from autozone used. I bought a new pulley and it seems to have ridges that look like cracks all over. Do you think its a bad one? IF SO I hate gm parts.

i want to remove it to return it for another or try to adjust it better. For it seems all wack and not straight when i installed the pulley.

 

Update im still in my garage going crazy. The damn pulley probably due to my fault is on there all weird and the belt slips. I have the tools but somehow i cant seem to figure it out. Im freaking out. haha. btw, i wish to remove the pulley.

 

i got a billet P/S pulley from Revextreme, but i havent installed it. These are the instructions TLewis gave me though:


hope this helps

 

The split ring thing goes on a certain way, look at the ridge inside, make sure both are sitting the same way or one side pops off. I figured this out after a minute of scratching my head. just use the right length pin, and put the ring around the puller thingy (like my technical terms?) and screw it down and it should slide off. I used an impact gun and it came off pretty easily.

Should be instructions in the box too.

 

yeah i know about those rings. I got it to work on the one that is useless. the one on the car on the other hand doesn't seem to let the split rings stay tight.

 

Ok, guys i dont know wtf to do. I mean the pulley on there is brand new. But it doesn't line up with the tensioner.. Its like i can't get it to go any further.And its damn ******* wobbly.

 

Just done this a week ago. The split ring one and the sleeve go a certain way. One side has more bevel than the other. i think the less bevel goes toward the pulley. Could be the other way though. Both need the same. I see you have it apart. You remember what pieces go with what? If not I can get some pics if needed of what parts go where.

 

Dude, are you now installing a pulley? Your first post indicates removal, but this looks like an install.

If you are installing the pulley, you'll need a tool (easy to make). Take a piece of GRADE 8 (unless you want it to break) 3/8-16 allthread rod about 6" long and weld or peen a nut to one end so it's locked together. Take another nut and run it up the threads about 4". put 2 heavy flat washers (with some grease between them) against the nut. Thread the free end into the pump shaft as far as you can by hand and take up the slack on the free nut so the washers are against the pulley. Hold the welded nut with one wrench while pulling up the pulley with the free nut until the belts are in alignment. It will be tough going but not too hard...

i want to remove it but it doesn't seem to work. Its already in there so maybe i can fix it without removing. Sorry about the confusion.

 

sounds like you just installed it bad, you can use the above procedure to install it, also if you buy a new ps pump that screw and nut setup usually comes with it, you could go get one from the box or buy the pump and return it... many solutions but it sounds like you need an actual installer. how did you get it on anyway, tell me you didnt hammer it on.

 

No, actually i used the installer that came with the new ps pump. I usually don't mess up lil installing things. But for some reason this one is hard.

 

ok i got it straight. Man i hate universal tools. thanks guys.
