How do you pull a pulley without a puller?
How do you pull a pulley without a puller?
There is a way to do it. You put a wrench on the pulley bolt and block the other end against the floor or the frame. Then you use the starter motor to turn the engine (DO NOT START IT, JUST TURN IT) for at most one or two revolutions of the crank. Just enough to break the bolt loose.
How do you check a water pump pulley?
Step 1: Inspect the water pump pulley. Open the hood to the engine compartment. Grab a flashlight and visually check the water pump pulley for any cracks and to see if it is out of alignment. Step 2: Start the engine and test the pulley. With the engine started, check whether the pulley is working correctly.
Can a water pump rotate without a pulley?
Water pump pulleys are designed to be driven by a drive belt or serpentine belt. Without a pulley, a water pump will not rotate unless it is driven by the timing belt, timing chain, or an electric motor.
What causes a water pump pulley to wobble?
Cracks can also form on the pulley if the bolts come loose or the pulley has too much stress applied to it. Additionally, the pulley can bend if the belt is at an angle because of an accessory that is not aligned properly. This will cause the pulley to have a wobble effect.
Can a V-groove pulley have more than one groove?
Some v-groove pulleys can have more than one groove, but each groove must have its own belt. If a belt breaks off or a pulley breaks, then only the circuit with the belt is no longer operational. If the alternator belt breaks off but the water pump belt does not break, then the engine can still run as long as the battery still has a charge.

What’s the difference between a Chevy and a Ford pulley?
I was asking for a photo of the setup all put together, so we can look at the shape of the pulley. Chevy and Ford pulleys look different, the short pump Chevy pulleys are cone shaped, the Ford pulleys and long pump Chevy pulleys are mostly flat where the belt goes, then they have a cylinder sticking forward where it bolts to the pump.
