I am trying to remove my JDM lower boost pully and have run into a serious problem. I think i turned the large gold nut the wrong way(to the left or counter clockwise) to get it loose. By the way this is how jdm told me to do it. Here is the thing now i though i got it broken loose but now it is stuck on there still and wont come off. It is tight but it still turns(just the gold 2 3/4 nut not the balancer). WHat is wrong here and did i turn it the wrong way or what???

 

uh, well, it is supposed to be turned counter clockwise....not sure of the color....the lower pulley "bolt", if you call it that, is actually a glorified allen key.....and needs to be put on a breaker bar and the engine stop strap is supposed to be put in.....not sure if this is what you are trying to replace....but if it is, it can be a pain in the a$$ if you haven't done it before....are you doing a pulley swap...????

 

lightningCT what town you out of? southington, bristol area here

 

nope....bridgeport to be exact....but i tell everyone i'm from fairfield.....my parents live in Cheshire....so i'm literally all over the NH and FFLD counties (i own a construction company)

 

There is no glorified allen key slot there is just a gold 2 3/4 in hub and a 3/4 inch bolt head in the middle.

 

well then, i don't know what that hell you're talking about....hahahaha lol....i'll look tomorrow morning and report back on my findings..!!

 

Sounds like you have a OLD STYLE JDM Adjustable CAGED Lower Pulley. Many many have had nightmare of problems taken off. There are tons of older post around here on that,
it seems most have had to resort to a pipe wrench and throwing
the pulley in the garbage after it's malled from getting it off.
I have the Cageless Pulley as stated above, that uses an allan key or socket to remove


NOT THIS SET UP THAT YOU MUST HAVE





A pipe wrench and garbage can seem to be two tools needed
to remove it
