so i got a key made for the bolt on my 2007 model supercharger, and it came in today, so i go in and pull the bolt out no problem, but now the pulley will not come off for anything, ive put a puller on it, blocks of wood behind it and hit it with a hammer and it doesnt budge one bit, has anyone else had an issue like this?

this is my 3rd sc'er, and on the first one i swapped the pulley and it came off just by jiggleing and pulling, but this one just wont come off, im gett real ____ed with this whole sc'er deal, as if it being a pos wasnt bad enough now i cant even take it apart to repair/modify it...

anybody have an idea of something i can do to get this thing off?

 

isn't there a tension bolt that needs to be released?

 

what?

the belt is off and the pulley bolt is out, thats all i had to do to the 05 model, was something changed that i dont know about?

 

might just have to take a hammer and a piece of 2x4 and whack it loose before you can use the puller.

 

yea i tried, it didnt do anything, im taking it to a custom 4x4 shop on friday or sunday morn to have him try to heat it up with a torch so i can get it off, maybe ___ ___ trd put loctite on t or somethin, i dunoo but it wont move

 

you know theres a tension release right?

 

what are u talking about?

theres a belt tensioner on the car to remove the belt, where is this tensioner on the pulley, its slid on and has a keyway in it...

the belt is off and the bolt is out, just need to slide the pulley off but it wont move...

please tell me what tensioner ur talking about?

 

Can you see the key in the keyway?

 

yea its in there....

 

oh ok, from you initial post, you only mentioned you had removed the bolt. I was assuming the belt was still on there.

 

o sorry, guess i didnt really make that clear, my bad

 

A correct gear puller should take it off, however, it shouldn't be on there that hard. Perhaps something else is wrong...

 

yea i have no idea whats up with it, i have a guy thats going to look at it and if he needs to he is going to heat it to get it off...

 

Guys.. hand held propane torch... in a circular motion heat up the outside edges of the pulley.. it will start to sweat.. once that sweat has dried up it will slide off.. By using a hammer it pulls on the shaft and could put stress on the internals of the shaft and blower.

 

won't put stress on blower cause the shaft is slid on and there is play there if you pull the shaft.

 

any luck yet mike?

 

no, im going to be giving it a shot when i get off work in a couple more hours... didnt think of a small propane torch and i think i have one already so ill let u guys know if i have any luck...

and my bumper is finished today so all i need to do is finish this and take it in for the tune lol...

 

wow, so i just cooked the pulley with the propane torch and pulled on it and no luck, then i torched it again, and it was extremely hot, and then put the pulley puller, and STILL NO LUCK!

seriously what can i do im getting nowhere and im trying everything...

 

So What are you doing to the car mike!

 

uhh, top secret lol, im making a real car again and dumpin all the garbage lol...

getting the motor setup the way i want it to be done with it, and i may start doing some auto x and some scca time trials racing...

i want to be able to drive the car again, and all the lighting is going...
