upper pulley install help!
I recieved my 2.8 upper from JLP today but there were no instructions. I guess I'm just a moron but I have no idea how to remove the stocker and install the new one. I have the JLP tool too. Can anybody help me out?
Piece of cake. Take the belt of the Eaton and place the puller over the pulley. Make sure you center the bolt on the blower snub, you don't wanna pull it off crooked. Slowly tighten the bolt and it will come off.
No really I have NO clue what I'm doing. How do I get the belt off? Anythnig special or just pull it off? Then I take that round black plastic thing out from the "blower snub"?
Sorry for the ignorance, I was really expecting some instructions from Johnny though.
Thanks

VT,
My set up is COMPLETELY differant but it may shed some light.
MAKE SURE IT'S ICE COLD, IT'LL HELP....
First thing you do is loosing and remove the center bolt of the
Stock Upper Pulley
Then use a 1/2 drive breaker bar and find the square it fits into to your lower left center (you can see my breaker bar handle in pic)
While taking pressure off belt, slip it off and leave it right there
(as seen on my pic)
As you can see I have a old style original Pulley remover
(cost more than the pulley) But you get the idea.
Puller Tool must be centered in hub, grabbing pulley (from behind I assume like mine ?) and then you turn the bolt in the tool into the original threads of the pulley (pulling the pulley off)
As for getting it back on, my tool does that too, but I believe you may walk that one in with the actual bolt ???? DOES ANYONE KNOW ?
Then replace original Bolt,
Take tension off belt again by pulling Breaker bar
Put belt back on
ENJOY THE EXTRA BOOST

You wont have that hub on the snout you see,
(mine is interchangable with two differant pulleys)
But you see the breaker bar and where it needs to be
and where you wanna leave the belt hanging

Put it back together and your done

Thank you VERY much Rob, That was very informative and gave me the courage to go out and try it. Now my question is, you said, "you turn the bolt in the tool into the original threads of the pulley" Do you mean literally the threads should line up and the remover bolt goes into the pulley hub? If thats the case I must have the wrong tool or something because the hole is considereably smaller than the bolt. Also how tight is that pulley on there. I was cranking down pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. I didn't want to break anything so I stopped. Should I jsut go out and Hecules that S.O.B?
