I would hate to get my car up and torn apart and then it didn't work.

13$ for a puller that could not do it....or rent a puller for like a $50 deposit or something from webb or mania that will do the job for sure....

Don't skimp on tools.

Exactly. You dont want cheap tools. If you buy them, you'll have to buy them over and over because they'll keep breaking. All in all, you will have paid for the good stuff.

Better safe than sorry.

They dont work, they are too small.

Dont listen to those guys. Go get a NICE craftsman gear puller and use that.

You will have to remove the belt tensioner, but it comes off very easily with the gear puller!


NEVER buy a specialty too unless you have to!

Thanks guys. I was just wondering because I have both.
I've already got the pulley just haven't put it in yet. I'm so dam broke I just can't bring myself to buy the
tensioner (gonna make it) or the puller.

Coming soon.... Mini mods for under $100 thread

thanks for helping'

Then maybe you should reconcider what you are doing.....you will void your warranty, and if you can't afford the tools then you can't afford to pay your own repair bills

The pulley is on there incredibly "snug". You need a heavy duty puller. I have a very strong one. Debated on the Mini Mania tool, but looks like it would shatter.
