If you do have it, how do you get it off? What tool do you use on that 14mm nut? This pulley, for those that don't know, replaces the tensioner pulley in the SC set up. It's a wide flat metal pulley with no sidewalls. It allows the belt to slip left and right without snapping, jumping ribs, shredding, etc. That 14mm nut is kind of deep in there and the chasis is in the way. How did you guys get that pulley off/loose?

 

Don't have one, but try a swivel socket and a bunch of rachet extensions.

 

would a wrench like this work....?

 

gearwrench.

 

TJ, did u try a snake socket? I'm not sure if thats the name but its basically a socket wrench with a electricians snake as the extension..

 

This actually might work. it would be perfect if the actual socket bent in a little deeper. I thought this would do the trick too. I'll buy one of these and see how it works.

 

WHAT?!?!? Pics? Sounds perfect actually. I need an easy to use tool for this nut to keep in the car in case of emergencies. You all know how close that tensioner pulley nut is to the actual chasis. Imagine it being surrounded by a fat wide pulley. :sigh:.

 

gimmie a min imma look for pics now.

 

Something along the lines of that, but they come bigger, and with socket handles. I have one in the shop I work at in Maspeth but I wont be home till june :/

 

I used a serpentine belt wrench on the last SC job....its basically a gear wrench with a socket and a long handle that can slide up in bewteen the chasis and pulley.

 

heat that wrench with a torch and bend it more thats how us navy guys do it

 

You serious? LOL.

 

It'd be alot easier if the car were RWD...

 

LMAO, because the engine would be turned sideways and i'd have better access to the pulley?

 

yeah! we make **** work home skillet

 

Precisely...
