QR Code Link to This Post
Primary Purpose: It is engineered to safely remove and install pressed-on alternator, power steering, and crankshaft pulleys without risking structural damage to the delicate internal pump shafts or components.
Compatibility: This professional-grade set features multiple application-specific adapter screws and pins tailored for most GM, Ford, and Chrysler engines (including GM Quad 4, GM 3.1L, and Ford 4.6L configurations).
Dual Action: Beyond standard removal and installation, reversing the integrated jaw assembly allows it to hook and pull out tight alternator internal bearings.
How to Use the Set1. Pulley RemovalLube and Align: Thoroughly lubricate the main forcing jackscrew and thread it into the central puller housing.Secure the Jaws: Fit the two-piece collar (clamshell halves) around the pulley's central hub ring, making sure they sit flush underneath the lip.Lock the Sleeve: Slide the retaining ring/outer sleeve forward over the halves to trap them tightly together around the hub.Pull Off: Hold the puller body still with a larger hand wrench and turn the inner forcing jackscrew clockwise. This pushes cleanly against the internal pump shaft, sliding the pulley off smoothly without bending the outer edges.2. Pulley InstallationChoose the Adapter: Select the correct threaded installation pin that matches the thread pitch of the pump's inner shaft. Thread it inside until it completely bottoms out.Stack Components: Slide the replacement pulley onto the shaft hub, followed by the main installer bolt body equipped with its flat pressure bearing and thrust washer.Press It Home: Secure the central adapter shaft using an end wrench or socket. Use a second wrench to turn the outer pressure nut clockwise. This drives the bearing forward, gently pressing the pulley straight onto the shaft until it seats fully flush.(Note: Never use a manual hammer or heavy shop press to force a pulley on, as doing so will permanently shatter the pump's internal seals.)
