Looks like one of those 20 minute jobs that winds up taking all afternoon.

[@JumpermanTech]

Haha exactly! It's always the small things. Sometimes it's just that 1 screw from Hell that is the hardest part of the day just to get off🤣 Thanks for watching & stay safe out there!🔧

[@jmore_3547]

Literally, there was one job I had where I had to take a motor out of a make up air unit and I spent the entire day taking the bearings off which were rusty as hell.

[@yeliab814]

Appreciate the candid video - happens to us all! I’ve taken these off before and some additional tips that helped: -leave the front allen screw alone so as to avoid changing pitch, loosen only the rear -heat around the pulley to expand it slightly, using a heat gun or propane torch -slide a short iron pipe over the shaft protrusion to tap on the pulley hub using a hammer or brass mallet. this breaks the pulley free from the shaft by first sliding it backwards slightly. Short Impact impulses are almost always a safer way of freeing something versus a large static force (aka the puller).

[@regiaguilarjr9390]

you suppose to take out that metal wedge first. that’s why you were not able to slide it off pretty sure you figured it out after the fact .. good video

[@justbeingreal5839]

How do you remove the little block key in the middle

[@norbertnagy5514]

​@@justbeingreal5839yeah he forgot to say that. Maybe try to tap out like from behind with some little rod and the hammer?

[@isonlynameleft]

Great video. I'm glad you showed the way it really is sometimes 😅 Just did almost exactly the same job yesterday but got lucky though no rust came right off without needing the puller.

[@davidl2650]

Get yourself a blunt drill bit , spray the pulley with penetration fluid(WD40 is not that great) and then start to drill the end of the shaft until it gets hot or you see smoke. This should help to unseize the pulley. Also when using that type of pulley best to use a brace between the claws and pulley. i.e flat piece of wood. Keep the videos coming :)

[@senpailonestarr2787]

Yield and impact socket. Ratchet moves around too much.

[@stevejuststuff2779]

Put a nut on the end of the shaft and put your puller into the nut. Helps keep it from getting off center or falling off. Good video

[@anzeusnarine247]

You are one of the best technicians out there thanks for all the videos brother🙏

[@sunnyormsby8402]

yup, just what I'm going to have to do. Thanks for the confidence😀

[@ChrisLovato-tt5io]

Awesome, couldn't have seen a better video!!! THANK YOU...

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

ThankX for the video! OH I RECOMMEND first heating up the Allen screws with a torch in case the maker used a lock tite glue on their threads and then also wd40 the screws before removal.

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

Thats a fact in the real world plans dont always go according to plan. Sometimes you just have to do whatever you have to do to get the job done

[@izzybell11]

Helpful and interesting video indeed. Great job JMT.

[@Akronkangaroo]

I Use kroil lubricant spray instead of wd40. Good video

[@USA-Truck-Train-Ship-Car-lover]

Use a paint stripper and make it hot, doctor heat works always good, wd 40 not that is a teflon spray , we use "imal" rust spray let it works 1 day and spray more again in that day, you see that works better.

[@genoforbes8855]

Wooow this just happened to me today appreciate the honesty 💯💯

[@hottbooty1]

Omg thank you! I learned all of this from you and I'm a female. Haha the other side of my pulley broke completely so I clamped on to a different part and it came off! Thank you!!!!❤❤

[@hkhsm359]

nice video. sometimes need to use force and the force not going well. but end of day the job will done. thanks for sharing

[@josephmonteiro2592]

nice work, appreciate the real world flavor to it!!!

[@aljammal9891]

You're the real one

[@joe226825]

You could have applied heat to the pulley with small propane torch and put a round Metal Disk that slipped behind the pulley and pulled on that instead of the Pulley itself because the pulley is made of an inferior metal.

[@jxsmn22]

Really dig it ! Thanks !

[@alexeytech1495]

Nice informative material.

[@neilvestervictor180]

great tip

[@johnalberts4041]

Take a self tapper to make a small center hole grove in shaft

[@gilmarperez8752]

I know the feeling good video

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

[@danmac1871]

Much appreciated!

[@josephhelsley8614]

Thanks

[@JumpermanTech]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️

[@vnesmuonnam]

Like the way you show.

[@mirzabaig1483]

Well done keep it up 👆

[@fixitfelix718]

Damn cuz. Went from remove pulley to use grinder..this ish happens....im not the only 1!!

[@ashtonguillory2179]

I pulled mine back and fourth then sanded the shaft . because i was replacing the motor too. It was stuck on the marks from thr retaining screws. I think someone put on one of the allen screws with a impact. It scores the pulley shaft and locked up my pulley. I showed that thing who the boss was though

[@ericlindal8008]

Nice

[@koonerd321]

New favorite hvac channel Digging them Milwaukee wrenches 🔧

[@fixman.persian]

i remove it by Pipe Wrench Spanner . turn it and remove . pully remover tools is not good.it breaks soft metals pully

[@josh6979]

Good video but used the wrong type of puller. There is a puller that looks like a disc that cam be separated in half. That would fit behind the pulley and around the entire base of the pulley rather than having the force focused on 3 points. Great job though.

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

I recently bought a new motor and replaced the small pulley and it started up fine but within 5 minutes or so it over heats and shuts down. Can you tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

[@wonderlandalliance888]

Check belt tension

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

@@wonderlandalliance888 Yes... again thanks

[@chiil034]

You should back off the backside of the pulley, the threaded end... and put the pulley on the back of the front side. Maybe less of a chance to destroy the pulley.

[@jjojo4016]

should of removed the keyway, and then put a drill to the puller. momentum is your friend, plus cranking on shit sideways means youll never get it straight.

[@sparkius30]

Useful as about a bowl of snot.

[@integritymechanicalhvac8656]

Did the end of the pully screw all the way off or are you trying to pull through the threading? Lol

[@MA-rc2eo]

Use two pieces of wood and hammer to tab it out.

[@joe226825]

Next Time use a Proper Penetrating Lubricant Not WD 40.. Spray good and leave overnight. Much better results...

[@aezakmi354]

other option is to heat it

[@user-og2bg7er6s]

If you would have bulled the pin out the front first it would have worked first try lmao

[@Ratz_vr-1]

Some heat would've broke that rust bond and then your puller wouldn't have had any problem.

[@MeFixingEverything]

I think I will pull my oxy torch first.

[@laworder6092]

Could have heat it up with torch!!

[@manninghr1]

tidy

[@JumpermanTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@masenstephens8986]

What about us poor people show us how to take it off without the puller dude some of us can't afford a 200$ tool bro

[@HorseBudgetHero]

$200 tool? Um no, you can get 3 different sized pullers from Harbor Freight for $22 lol. SKU: 63953
