i can't seem to get my pulleys off
im using a ratchet but with every failed attempt its just making me more mad
is there sumthing simple im just missing or what, like im turning it the wrong way or what? cause i turn it both ways and the pulley still keeps moving and not loosing
please help

im mainly talking about the two that the ones that hold on the timing chain

 

I'm assuming you mean the cam pulleys?

You gotta use something to hold that pulley still while you're removing the bolt.

I use a broken timing belt with a Vice-Grip and a long bar, to hold the pulley. I've alse seen people use a screwdriver or metal bar to hold the pulley.

 

alright i have to try that
so just stick the screw driver or sum device in there to jam it still so i can remove it just what your saying?

 

exactly. Use it going through one of the holes of the pulley. And wedge it to a surface of the head/block.

 

okay i did that and my pulley isn't budging i cna't get teh nut loose
is it left loosely/right tightie
or is back wards than normal?
cuz its starting to **** me off

 

nope, you're right. Just turn the bolt "counter-clockwise" to get it loose. Chances are that they've never been removed. And are going to take a "big stick" to get them to loosen. I'd suggest using plenty of penetrating lube. Just spray it on. Let it sit for a while. And repeat muliple times. Hopefully that will help.

Or, if you're very carefull, try tapping on the bolt with a hammer. Sometimes, the corrosion just needs to be knocked around to release it's hold on the surfaces.

 

thanks for your help man ur a lot of help
i forgot bout the lube
i'll try that now

 

yo 86' who's your avatar..it looks like a skinny hitler/cartman...but i donno...sorry for jacking.too

 

There was a program, somewhere, that you could build your own "Southpark Characters". This was the closest I could come to that looked like me, back then.

 

ahh, thats badd. you should build me one then...that'd be cool

 

I can't find the program or website anymore. I just had that saved on my PC for a while. I just decided it was about time I added an avitar to myself. And just resized it for use here.

Sorry man.

Maybe if you do a search, you might come across it in the web.

 

alright then...if you ain't doning anything you should come to chat..
