Hi all, does anyone know where I can find the tool to remove the crank pulley on a YB? There was a copy of the Ford type tool around a couple of years ago for 10-15 GBP but I can't seem to find anyone making/selling them now, now I wish I had bought it back then lol. Any insight would be appreciated ☺️

 

Undo crank pulley bolt so it extends out beyond the pulley.
use thick sheet of steel with 3 holes drilled in the same pattern as the 3 threaded holes in the front of the pulley, then use 3 m8 bolts to pull it forwards.

 

I didn't think of that, thanks mate, that should be pretty cheap to make as well

 

Pullers have been known to break the edge of the pulley, so I don’t like using them. 👍🏻

 

I made one up from scrap when I had a Cossy, not the best of pics though!

 

Thank you the pic is very helpful, but what does the Y shaped tool do and does it matter if you use aluminium to make the tool instead of steel?

 

The Y shape bit bolted to the pulley first so I could lock the crank while undoing the centre bolt .

The puller part I made from a scrap of aluminium and it worked fine.
