3G pulley stuck big time July 09, 2009, 06:32:00 PM I cant get this larger pulley off this thing. Pb blaster and MAPP gas and nothing works, Used my elect impact and tried 1/2 inch ratchet with a 2 foot cheater pipe.Did some of these things come with a press on pulley? It is coned in on the end of the bolt ? Quote Selected
3G pulley stuck big time Reply #1 – July 09, 2009, 08:02:32 PM I eventually got it off. I now figured out my 2g pulley hits the alternator housing and wont work. Gotta order a new pulley I guess. Quote Selected

3G pulley stuck big time Reply #4 – July 10, 2009, 08:17:18 AM Well, if the last pulley was a serp pulley and didn't hit...You need to compare where the old pulley sat vs where the new one does on your new alt. Quote Selected
3G pulley stuck big time Reply #5 – July 10, 2009, 09:11:39 AM The old pulley that was on the 3g was very large. I wanted to switch to the smaller one that was on my 2g. On a flat surface, both pulleys were equal, belt wise, but the 2g has a different curve on the back of it that causes it to hit the housing.Whatever thickness I need to shim it out, will push it that distance past correct.
