Does anyone have the special puller for removing the cambelt pully of the crank nose on a YB engine, without damaging the alloy cover?

If so, Please may I borrow it, I will pay postage for you, and a little something for your generosity

Cheers

Paul

 

i used a hub puller mate

 

What sort of hub puller, as it needs to be extremely slim to get in to be able to remove the cambelt pully from inside the alloy front case

 

you mean the toothed pulley not the aux drive pulley?
if so it "shouldn't" need a puller it might just be stuck on the shaft give it some gentle taps and it should come off.
Mind you im sure I have read that some peeps have had to smash it off

mine have always come off no prob.

That is the pully steve - the small one for the cambelt that sits behind the main crank pully.

Never had it off my engine before, and I don't know if anyone else has neiher

 

oh rite thought you meant the big one lol

it should just slide off

mine did

soak it in wd 40 mate and try a little lever bar gently behind it

 

Gracy....

 

Stu - you inspire me with confidence by posting that picture

 

i seam to remember that i made the suggestion, but every puller under the sun was tried in vane

 

If you are feeling brave, drill and tap two holes in it then with some suitable bolts and a bit of pre-drilled box 1x1" box section pull it off that way.

 

I'm with Stu on this!!

Mine was seized solid - I drilled a small hole through the width of it top and bottom, then put the tip of my balljoint splitter in the hole and sheared the pulley into two pieces... Took about 5 mins, no way it was coming off without the proper tool, and could I fuck get one!!

It would have to be a very narrow puller to get in there - I filed my puller right down and it still wouldn't fit - there's little room between the cover and the pulley

The bottom pulley Paul??

My Stu bought one to do his esccos when he had it in bits, so sure he would bring it for you tomorrow if you ask him nicely
