How do I go about doing this? I only have hand tools aswell. I used the started method to get it off, now I can't figure out how to get it back on tight.

 

the best way is with a chain wrench, cheapest way is to borrow someones chain wrench. thats really the only way withpout an impact.

 

Make a tool to hold the pulley in place. It shouldn't cost you more than $20 to do it or, invest on the right tool. The chain wrench is a good idea but make sure you do not damage the pulley itself. That will be a much bigger problem if you do heheheee.

This is the right tool Schley 64300. or make one similar. All you need is a hard steel plate. 1 big hole in the middle about 1" and 2 small ones on each side for the long bolt to slide in and bolt to the pulley.... Oh, and I suppose a long handle bolted to the plate for countering.

 

here you go:

If you are replacing the serpentine belt as well, you can use the old one to wrap around the crank pulley and slip a breaker bar through the belt to contact the sway bar and frame. Make sure you wrap the belt counter clockwise since you are turning the bolt clockwise. It will take a couple of tries to get the correct amount of friction. Works in a similar fashion to the plate steel if you don't have quick access to any special tools.

 

Whoa..thanks good2go.. thats way better than how I had described it LoL.... Now to make one for myself. I did invest on the 64300 tool tho. Thats just because i'm addicted on having the right tools hahahahaa

 

I will make one like that. Thanks!

 

I bought a chain wrench, I have no way of cutting a hole in steel like that, I'll just wrap the pulley with parts of the old serpentine belt to protect it.

 

Now thats a good idea. I used the chain wrench myself. Now I have another idea! Thanks

 

I took it to a dumpy looking muffler shop and paid the guy $5 to torch through it. Took all of 2 minutes.

 

What's the size spec of the two small bolts?

Thanks
