..... i got the NST UD pulley today and well tried to install it and omgwtfpwnz

i cant get the bolt off. my impact gun is a 1/2 drive so i couldnt get a good grip
on it to cover the bolt with the socket. I manage some how to get it in a little slanted and a little grip. That didnt work. I am working with a 250 tq electric gun

. Any suggestions???
By the way thats the only gun i could get.

Yoda · 02-19-2009, 07:08 PM

turboyaris · 02-20-2009, 12:13 AM

put the car in gear, and get a breaker bar

jkuchta · 02-20-2009, 12:25 AM

^+1....That's how I'm going to get 'er done on Monday at Microimage.

$10 breaker bar at harbor freight can "fix" anything.

You should be able to use a short extension for the impact if you can't get it to fit directly on the bolt. Putting the car in gear and using a breaker bar is a pretty abusive way to do it (if that even works). There's another way to do it with a breaker bar, but I don't think anyone who knows wants to give up the secret due to liability reasons.

eTiMaGo · 02-20-2009, 03:40 AM

insane mechanics when I got mine installed could not loosen it by hand either... so one guy held on the breaker bar real strong while the other cranked the engine for a split second... Worked like a charm! Though be careful if you try this, you probably don't want to clean up pieces of shredded appendages from your engine bay...

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-20-2009, 05:25 AM

I was able to get it loose with just a breaker bar and a rubber strap wrench... cranking the engine with the breaker bar on the the nut is insanely dangerous... you could hurt yourself and/or the car.. I would NOT recommend it...

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-20-2009, 05:29 AM

In case you're wondering I wrapped the strap wrench around the pulley, and braced it against the chassis so I didn't have to hold it, and just cranked real hard on the breaker bar... If you think you might have problems with that, get a pipe to go over the end to lengthen it so you can get more leverage... as Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.”

I should have known someone out there knew an even worse way to do it.

heh notice he never said it was a good way are necessarily recommended it. You can get a tire back on the rim by spraying combustibles inside it then lighting a match, but why the hell would you actually try it?

Yoda · 02-20-2009, 11:55 AM

i gonna see if i can get an extension for the gun when i get off work and try it one more time if not then i see if i can find a breaker bar somewhere...

jkuchta · 02-20-2009, 12:24 PM

TOUGEghost,

You're telling me putting the car in gear and applying the brakes (to keep the engine from spinning), and then using a 30" long breaker bar with a fully seated socket is abusive?

Explain.

Yoda · 02-20-2009, 03:54 PM

got some more tools gonna give it another try

jkuchta · 02-20-2009, 04:19 PM

Were all behind you Yoda

Yoda · 02-20-2009, 04:37 PM

so i tried making it a little tighter and started the engine....it squeals really loud help me plz -_-'

Yoda · 02-20-2009, 05:08 PM

sounds like the belt isn't tight enough... if its tight, the belt pretty much HAS to move with the pulley.
