**someone please help**

[Detective_Dan]

im putting my stock supercharger pulley back on and this GD allen bolt somehow went from finger tight to superman on roids tight. the allen part is stripped out, not the threads.

it wouldnt be that difficult to remove other than the fact that i cant get the supercharger snout to stop spinning as im trying to loosen it. ive tried a strap wrench and cannon plug pliers on the snout. i obviously cant throw a pair of vice grips on the snout as that would damage it. i have to get this damn thing out. please somebody throw me an idea that i havnt tried

clamp a set of vice grips on the bolt and strike with hammer to spin it fast so as to loosen it before it starts to turn if you do not have a air wrench or impact to use

 

[Detective_Dan]

Just tried that, and still nothing. Any other suggestions?

I'd use a torq bit socket in the Allen hole. Then use an impact. I've done this countless times. Just get one a size bigger and tap it in with a hammer. It works I've also used torq bit as an ex out and they have never been defeated yet.

Alot of supercharger pulley bolts are left hand thread.

This one isn't. Screwed in just as any bolt would

Take a piece of rubber or a leather belt rap around the snout then put on a pair of vice grips. use pliers on outside of bolt. I swapped my pulley three times and never run into these problems did you antiseeze the threads first??

Bulldog, when you say youve swapped pullies, have you taken off the URD 2.8 pully? If so did it bend the fcuk out of it? Even with the good puller, the edges still bent in.

Yes the edges bend in, pully can still be used as the area on mine where the pulley bent doesn't effect the belt area and will still track fine. They do make specific pullers for the supercharger that have a plate that goes behind the pulley to prevent any damage to it.

That puller will not work on the TRD supercharger.

You cannot get the horseshoe thing behind the pulley.

Are there any pulley pullers you recommend?

Awhile back when I spoke to them they had different sized horseshoes for the back. That was a few years ago though
