briankk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 So I bought an old '06 Brighton, in really poor condition. Water geting out of it somewhere, so I set out find out where, pulled the rad and checked it, seems ok, pulled off the passenger side timing belt cover to have a look while I was in there, timing belt wants replacing, so pulled the serpintine belt and crank pully bolt, but the crank pully won't come loose. Called various FLAPS who don't have a puller. Checked You Tube, found that the thing is supposed to fall off in your hand with the bolt removed, not a tapered shaft (?). None of my pullers work. Now what? everything behind the pully is plastic, prying not an option. Not real eager to fill it full of water and drive it off to pick-n-pull.. bk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You mean a 96? No 2.2s in 06. Possible the pulley worked loose and is stuck on the keyway. Spray some PB or other penetrating oil in the center to help free any rust that may be in there. Then try working the pulley back and forth with light prybar pressure on either side. It may not need much just to get it worked loose. If you have a big prybar you may be able to brace against the alternator or AC brackets to apply more pressure.

AdventureSubaru Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Puller not needed. I just grab it and wiggle it back and forth. a few light raps with a hammer or breaker bar maybe. Once you get a tiny bit of play, just keep wiggling. it will come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
