Friggin pull clutch!

You gonna take it to RS mate? Let me know if you want me to pop down. Have you built the TII engine up yet?

[Ricco_04]

TII shortblock is all built.  I stopped as I was waiting for a new oil pump chain from Mazda.  

Gonna be ar RS if I can get it done on time.  Need MOT (few things to do for that) , Remap, & 4 new tires for the new wheels

The "Complete" engine I brought was missing several clips, pipes, broken connectors etc  Also missing the power steering assembly and aircon assembly.  So im transferring that over and cant undo the powersteering pulley - which is now broken :rollin

Time for my new thread - "Frigging Power Steering Pulley!" :WaveBye

tbf if im sending out an engine, i wont send it out with PAS or aircon either. I leave them in the car when i remove the engine...for some reason you havent...which means you will have had to drain a bit of PAS fluid but more critically at some point you will have discharged the aircon!
Power steering pulley...well if you aint got a gun then its usually gonna end in tears im afraid. I break it off deliberately when i dont have a gun...just saves the hassle lol! I got plenty stock of used good pullies for that eventuality! (drop me a line if you need one...you can have it if you pay the postage)

Thanks mate - will probably contact you later then

I did use an airgun but it was spinning round.  I tried a couple other ways but in the end it went kaput!

Didnt think about disconnection the powersteering & aircon :spank (aircon was already out of gas, which helped

Try undoing it with the belt tensioned really tight. Should zip straight off:Thumbs-up Just make sure you dont put too much tension on the belt when the engine is running, otherwise you\'ll damage the bearings.

Unfortunately the pulley destroyed itself into 3 main chuncks - thankfully not imbedded in my head :Giggle

So now im doen to the small metal serfice & the nut. :flamed

I tried mole grips on it - really tight, as tight as I could get them but they slipped off :rolleyes:
