so i went to my buddys shop to get my stage 2 installed... they got the sc off and they put the pulley puller on... ended up snaping the bolts on the puller that was rated at 600lbs or something... so now they said they will have to send it out to a place to get it pulled off by a press... does this sound right? and how much force should be used to get the pulley off?

They must have been doing something wrong or had a defective puller. I pulled mine off with the supercharger sitting on the tailgate of my pickup with my father holding it down.

MrStaticX

that makes me mad lol i talked to the tech and he said he broke his pulley puller and even tried heating it up a bit cuz the aluminum expands faster then the steel... and still nothing

Just rent another puller from a company and use it. We put a lot of pressure on the one we pulled but nothing broke.

MrStaticX

is it bad to get the reflash before the smaller pulley goes on?

If you have the injectors it is ok.

To get my stock pulley off we had to put it into a 12 tonne press and it was maxxed out. Stubborn bitch for sure.

Chances are you will run realy rich. It will be ok for a short period of time and No WOT!

MrStaticX

were taking it to a 2 ton press... hope it does the trick lol

and yes i do have the injectors in

Matty

Good luck. Some guys on here have had no problems. My stock pulley was garbage afterwards cause it got bent in the removal process. Glad I will never need that big bastard again.

MrStaticX

why did gm have to make it so difficult?

Matty

Why does GM do half the things they do?

Better it is on tight rather than falling off I guess.

I used the ZZP puller and works great. Have used it on 4 now with no prabs.

me and a buddy went in 1/2's and bought it.

Would you rather have it fall off then bitch about how cheap GM is

MrStaticX

id rather have them use a couple screws like the stage 2 pulley and hub
