Originally posted by xcasbonx I took a 4x4 block of wood put it up against it and drove it on with a 5lb rubber mallet. Nearly 10 years later, no problems.
k maybe we'll give that a try if the impact doesn't work..
Originally posted by J Alright, do this....... Take the pulley, and put it in the oven @ 500' (however high it goes)... get some gloves (like for a grill), pull it out of the oven once its been heated up, and it *will* just slide right onto the crank like butter! It goes on very, very easy... and then you can take your block and make sure it's hammered on straight. You just want to make sure it's lined up w/ your other pulleys, that's all - J
I read about that method too. But the pulley is almost completely on already. We'd have to go rent a puller again to get it off. Maybe if nothing else works we'll give that a try.
