How to remove a taper lock pulley

Today we remove a taper lock on a pulley so we can do the bearing repair on a mower spindle

I am on a roof right now. It’s a little chilly and I needed a little guidance. Thank you very much. Our exhaust fan has the exact same issue. Great video.

Thanks and I’m glad you found it useful

Thanks for the video. It will help me with an exhaust fan at work.

[@micahwagner4154]

you just saved me, I was trying to run mine off with an air hammer and it would not go. I was thinking that there has to be an easier way to get one off, and this works flawlessly. thank you!

Thank you! This worked! I was able to remove a split tapered bushing on a 3hp compressor motor shaft and install on the replacement motor.

Thanks for taking the time to help us out!

Awesome…Thanks for this simple explanation.

If only I knew this 3 days ago... I wouldn't have used a bearing puller. Live and learn! Sharing with my friends.

Glad it helped and thanks for watching

Thank you, looks just like my splitter pulley I need to remove. Helpful

It’s best to run a tap and clean treads before trying to use pusher bolts

[@litpubgm124]

How do you put the whole pulley back on the shaft? I’m trying to do it right now on my orsssure washer but the bushing don’t fit even tho it’s the size

[@johnstrange6799]

Need that separate video. It's a slow night for videos lol

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Lol, I had to end up ordering a part for that mower so it will be a bit.

What if you don't have the bolts ... ? In other words I had one bolt sheer off doing exactly in this video so cuz the only way to get it off with the bolts or can it be pulled off some other way ? The key Pin , or Shaft pin needs to be all the way forwards, or has to be completely removed coming Forward off the motor shaft spline

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Did the bolt sheer while removing it, unfortunately that happens pretty often, if you still have one bold able to push you can use a wedge on the other side and tap it in as you push with the other bolt

[@michaelrussell778]

now that's kool

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thanks, I hope you found it useful

[@jackhosey8634]

Show how to get the other piece off without a puller.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

You can use wedges between the two pieces, I will see if I have a pully laying around and do a video on alternate methods

[@cpuram8883]

I think its hard to install back on

[@dwaynefriesen4378]

Excellent video if bolts hadn't broke inside it

[@keithadkins1834]

I was able to get it off, is it easy to get back on being tapered?

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yes, just make sure the threads are clean and draw it back on evenly moving back and forth between the bolts, I start the pully just slightly low as it will usually pull up a little

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 Sweet, thank you!

[@virgil5361]

Does anyone know how he removed the pulley? I did not see how he did it, He called this how to remove the pulley but he never actually showed how to do it. Does anyone know what type of tool he could have used since he did not show us what tool he used?

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Do you mean the part where the belt rides which I clearly showed or the whole spindle assembly

[@pastorbrian700]

How do you remove the double pulley

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

The one on the back of the deck

[@pastorbrian700]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 I was referring to the center spendle pulley on a 3blade deck (scag sthm 52"cut). I have since figured it out though. Thanks for reply..🙂

Man I'd give you a kiss on the mouth right now if I could. You just saved me so much trouble on a job
