You can use an old V-belt to grip the pulley.

I’m just researching, I work on street sweepers and the vacuum system is a big fan that is held on with a conical sheeve. Had a real rough one in the shop this week, it uses 1/2 bolts and we managed to snap them off using a long ratchet, not enough room for a puller on the back side, and we were heating and smacking the damn thing for about 3 hours. Had to pull the huge 150 pound fan blade out with the shaft still attached because we just couldn’t get it.

Unfortunately it’s pretty common for the bolts to break or strip the threads out, on larger ones I drill and tap larger holes sometimes

You would be surprised sometimes how many parts are still available for some older machines, prices can get up there though

@FITNESSOVER45 I would remove the belt and spin all the blade spindles by hand as well as any tensioner and idler pulleys

Is there a part 2 wanting to know exactly how to match the holes on the taper setup reinstalling
@SuperGlacierGirl Жыл бұрын
Use two long bolts to hold the two parts loosely together. Slide them on the shaft, snug up the bolts to start the process. Then replace with the shorter bolts one at a time.

How’d the machine work turn out on that rubberized roller you welded back up

Anyone tried torching it a bit to loosen? I do SM engine flywheels that way for a certain motor. Attempting this myself. These pullers an item you buy or they already on the pulleys?
@smalltownmachineshop686011 ай бұрын
The puller feature is built into the inner part of the pulley, I have used heat before but if you do only hear the outside of it where the belt goes and not the inner part as that would make it expand more and become even tighter

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 My favorite were the Lesco stamped floating decks. They long ago stopped making the spindles. I hope to one day figure out what bearing are needed and procure some Made in USAs and rebuild my decks.
