2007 Cadillac DTS water pump pulley, was difficult to remove

tools needed to remove and replace. 10mm, 13mm, power steering pump pulley removal tool

[@TyrellGreenlee]

I was not expecting to see a blow torch being used in the engine bay to remove a pulley. I was leaning towards having the shop replace my water pump but this moved the needle way the other way. Thanks for the upload!

This is an excellent video. The camera is in a rigid fixed position, not all over the place like some I have seen. Your video walked me step by step right through this repair. I have an 06 DTS. I ended up cutting that bearing off with the Dremel tool, which you mentioned in the video. I just cut a slot the width of the blade, being very careful not to touch the shaft. Anyways, thank you, nice job.

[@Steubenville_PoPo]

Wow, my man, you have much to learn. You really should have replaced the seal while you were there. Please turn the shaft on that puller, hold the rest and make sure you press the pulley on flush with the end of the shaft. This belt will wear prematurely because it will not line up correctly. Please reserve that torch for when you are soldering copper pipe.

WoW ok kool my plastic pully is locked looks like I'm gonna go down the same road Thank you for doing the Whole Video br0

[@khanm83]

thanks this helped a lot.. i changed the tensioner.. still making some noises.. i think my water pump giving out... thats my next task..

[@younis1307]

Need to order a tensioner pulley piece? Is it possible to help

[@WayneLevelston]

you was using the removal tool incorrectly, it comes off in less than a minute if you'd used a 16mm wrench and turned towards the windshield

[@partsshooter]

🤦‍♂️

[@partsshooter]

Bro... Troll elsewhere. Not today

[@mrmagiq216]

Took me 30 seconds with a cordless impact and a 19 on the puller bolt

[@ctrygirl2001aw]

Even I can read the directions to use it in my Cadillac. I am shocked at all this. I love my Satin. I would rather junk her than treat her this way. ​@@mrmagiq216

[@thinkviral8795]

Do you know where the output speed sensor location would be code(p0722)?

[@borisp9499]

What was the mileage at the point of failure?

[@partsshooter]

This car has 150k I wanna say

[@joebud3271]

80000 for me Northstar v8

[@terryminor1389]

I have a 2008 DTS that need the exact fix. What size belt do i need? excuse me for my ignorance im a computer network guy trying to fix my car

[@partsshooter]

Just a water pump belt

[@terryminor1389]

@@partsshooter thanks...ill be watching your video while i do mines tomorrow thanks again

[@partsshooter]

@@terryminor1389 cool, but the video wasn't straight through. I had issues that I didn't edit out. Hopefully yours is more cut and dry to replace

[@ygudream1104]

You still got the caddy?

[@partsshooter]

I still service his car... runs great

[@johnperez93640]

What is this guy scared of? TURN THOSE WRENCHES the first time. Put a pipe on one of em and force that wrench to turn. If it pops the tool, oh well, but it probly wont.

[@alecdoyle6268]

At least I know it’s not just me.

[@paulteusink5124]

Lube that pusher screw! And use those muscles! It's doubtful that heat was needed.

[@partsshooter]

Better safe than sorry not using heat, it came off easier! I need to update that tool anyway

[@JM-br9sp]

This guy is everybody's nightmare mechanic. Haha, let's just melt th plastic pulley off! Great idea! Just when I thought the worst was over he hammers on the engine casting! Hahaha, this must be a junkyard car

[@partsshooter]

Nope... A customers car

[@cuzzcurt1]

U did that dog👍💪

[@hvvzqz3677]

hey buddy you need to learn a lot I did it the same job same car in about 15 minutes work smart not hard with the right tools

[@partsshooter]

@hvvzqz3677 but... you watching my video and not the other way around. Gotcha

[@jamesstewart1033]

Wow, you are soooo cool. Congratulations

[@jalsr.speak2379]

Wow, you had trouble because you don't have enough leverage with them little open end wrenches. You didn't even use a rachet or breaker bar on the end of the pully tool. Pressed on pullies are supposed to be that tight and I'm pretty sure the pully puller tool centers itself but hey, you got her done like a cave man.

[@JM-br9sp]

I have to stop watching

[@TheDavidthegreat]

Tell nayiztazq idk what her name is to stop the promo lmaooooooooooo

[@partsshooter]

Who is that???

[@mahmoudhasnaoui1279]

Cow boy

[@ajoodle5850]

Add Timestamps next time. I wasted 15 minutes watching you trying to remove them 😅

[@mahmoudhasnaoui1279]

Useless effort I made a tool less stronger than yours and I managed to take the poly You don’t know what are you doing mate

[@larrymiller8641]

I changed my pulley years ago with the same tool and no directions, it took me all of an hour or so to figure it out, I definitely didn't use no freakin blow torch, it was easy, crank it right off, then put the new one on in reverse and crank it right on, I don't even see why he uploaded this video like he was doing it right, dumb ass mechanic, hope u got another job besides this one

[@partsshooter]

I got fired today. You hiring?
