Wow!

Where did you get such a fantastic tool?

Clever. We broke our gear puller trying to remove the pulley from ours. We ended up grinding the pulley off.

Re: pic: Useful Tool

The pulley is only secured to the output shaft by strong glue, and all it takes is a heat gun, pliers, and someone pulling for it to come off.

See this thread ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=heat+gun ) there is no need to take the risk of hurting the motor by breaking the pulley like that and there is no need to buy a custom tool to remove the pulley.

Specifically pay attention to one Mr. Paul Copioli in post number 3.

It works like a charm. Thanks again Paul, your knowledge proves helpful even one year later.

I already owned the tool for its original use as a nut splitter. It's kind of like cracking a walnut. I was worried about overheating the motor and damaging something, so I see this as a lower risk approach if you don't care for the pulley.

Re: pic: Useful Tool

Or instead of splitting it you can make a large gear puller like we did, i cute a piece of 3 inch aluminum stock, machined out a groove, tapped it and then put a 8 inch I-bolt into the tapped hole. Easy to make, can be re-used as much as needed, and will not do any damage to the motor or pulley. For any questions on how to make this giant gear puller please fell free to contact me on aim at etakto738 or on gmail at eshteyn375@gmail.com

Re: pic: Useful Tool

When my students took that sucker off last year, they used a heat gun, really hot for quite a while, then I think they pulled it off fairly easily with a pair of pliers. Then once it was cooled we used some acetone or methanol to clean off the shaft.
