Did you need a puller to remove the pulley from the shaft or did you coax it off with some other method? What did you use to install? Was there any problem getting the nut tight enough? Does anyone know the torque spec for the nut? Thanks.
Dennis, Earls Automotive did mine. It looked like a rachet with a socket. It wasn't exactly what you would expect since they sell pulley pullers. Barry Kahn 2000 Saleen SC281 #0388
Head Paneer, You need a pulley puller. I rented one from my local automotive store for about $6 a day. I don't recall the torque spec for the nut, though, but I didn't have a problem getting the nut tight enough and I don't tend to overtighten stuff. ~ Billy '01 S281-S/C #201 '99 S281-N/A Cobra Speedster #357
I finally got around to swapping the pulley this past weekend. I went to the local Autozone and borrowed (for free) a universal three-jaw puller. The pulley came off with ease and the new one slid right on. I tightened the nut by hand with the same tools used to break the nut loose, so it should be tight enough. After reading about the alignment issues some of you have had, I paid particular attention to how the belt rides in the pulleys. So far, so good.
