im going to put on 2.9 on my car and new hub but i got stock pulley and hub any place rent these tools>?

 

sub'd for answer

 

Auto zones pulley puller is not the same puller as you need. I believe zzp rents them if you decide to go that route.

 

Best bet is to find a local shop with a press and have them press it off. The tool you need for installing the new pulley can be rented or possibly borrowed from the same shop. It's a GM power steering pump pulley installation kit.

The press is much safer and easier for removal, and the proper installer tool makes it super easy. I've done at least 10 swaps this way, and a couple with garbage pullers and stuff. Do it right, much easier, no risk of damage.

 

i rented the tool from autozone its like 99 and u get the money back when u bring the tool back, but it didnt work out and i decided to bring it to a shot to have it taken off the right way and the new one pressed on

 

they have pullers, but not pulley pullers. I tried nearly all their pullers to get the stock pulley off and no worky.

 

That's weird I used ther bigest one they have 3. Sizes I think... worked perfect for getting it off only. I know I tried it with their medium one and it wouldn't grab . Damn can't remember witch one I used but I rented it at autozone

 

^ they have a **** ton of pullers

 

Hm see I don't wanna pay a shop outrageous labor prices to do

 

ZZP Pulley Puller FTW I will sell you mine for 85 shipped?

 

No thanks I don't need to buy one

 

use a clamshell puller and use a gm powersteering pulley installer to put the hub on
it can be rented from autozone its like 35bucks then u get it all back when u bring the tool back

luckly my pops had this in this tool box
you need both of those

 

Oh well the type I rented from them only had 3 sizes it had a screw in the middle and 3 claws...turn the screw and it pull the pulley.

Supercharger was off the car as there's no room while its on.

 

i used a posi lock puller and a gm power steering pulley installer to put the new hub on. i did manage to snap the grade 10 bolt that was in the installer with about 3mm left before the pulley was flush but they had another one in stock and i got it on.

 

how much do shops charge?
