Pulley Puller
Has anyone ever used a regular pulley puller to remove the supercharger pulley and install a different one. Besides the one that zzp makes. I dont really feel like spending 100 bucks on that. If you guys have where did you get it and how much did it run you? Do you think a regular alternator pulley puller would work from like autozone or pepboys.

idea! walk into pepboys with your supercharger in hand and walk up to the shop press on display and say "your testing it" and then leave

Sometimes a shop press isnt enough. In my case, it didnt budge, you could actually see the pulley starting to bend. Maybe our press isnt that strong. The impact and traditional puller didnt work either. We had to use this old school puller that a guy had in the shop...hit with a hammer as we pumped it with the air gun...once it moved a little I took it to the press that got it off. It was a lot of work...Maybe mine was just pushed on a little much from the factory.

We didnt try heat to get if off...but once it was off, we stuck the blower in the freezer and put the new hub in the hot tank for a couple hours...Then I used a power steering pulley press and it when on so easy...no struggle at all.

That price is rediculous, your getting raped. it should be more like 150-250 depending how familiar they are with the cobalt. First time I took mine to the dealer for an oil change it took them almost two hours, lets just say I got that for free. I did the oil change today and it took maybe 25 mins.
