How does this pulley come off?

[keith9291]

I want to get the pulley powder coated but I am not sure if iits just a nut I can twist off or not. Has anyone take one off before?

Also does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit for these federal pumps? I was thinking of having it powder coated also.....may have some more stuff for you Leanna

It is a press on press off. It requires a special puller to grasp the flange and is pulled back on using the threaded hole in the shaft.

I beleive you will need the little tool in the pic. It can be bought for about $25 and can be used for alt pully's too.

Thanks guys...where can i find the tool at?

I got mine at Auto Value, I'm sure any of the big store chains should have one. It wasn't special order I just walked in and got it. I'd think napa would have one.

Remember that it is a .004 press fit so lube it good and take it easy.

The treaded hole in the middle is for another tool that screws in the middle then uses a flat washer/bearing assem that is on the shaft, you then turn a nut that draws it on. If you press it you have to remove the can or you'll destroy the can.
