Pulley Puller Instructions

Pulley Puller Instructions

Pulleys press into place to ensure they do not become loose while you are operating a vehicle. This makes a pulley impossible to remove by hand. A pulley puller uses pulling force to remove the pulley from a mechanical pump. The force travels from the puller to the pulley with a long screw. The screw turns into a threaded base. The force of the screw pulls the pulley from the shaft of the pump.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the drive belt attached to the pulley. The tools required for the belt removal will depend on the type of pump attached to the pulley.

    2

    Turn the threaded shaft of the pulley puller counterclockwise to open the puller jaws. Slide the hooked ends of the puller over the back of the pulley. Align the center of the threaded shaft with the center opening of the pulley. Turn the puller screw clockwise to hand tighten the pulley puller.

    3

    Turn the puller screw clockwise with an adjustable wrench. Continue tightening the screw until the pulley slides free of the pump shaft. Slide the pulley and pulley puller away from the pump shaft.

    4

    Turn the puller screw counterclockwise with an adjustable wrench. Slide the pulley from the puller when the arms of the puller spread wider than the diameter of the pulley.
