Have been trying to get the supercharger pulley bolt off so I can replace the bearing, however the bolt just wont come off.
I used the hose clamp method but under the torque, the clips on both the hose clamps simply squeezed through the metal prortusion they were supposed to provide leverage with .
Yes with an extension indeed. I remember it was a pretty straight shot. If you have ample room, your engine mounts might probably be shot...(your engine will be sitting lower then)
You can lift the engine a bit with a jack beneath it.
@nd-photo.nl thank you for suggesting the dewalt. I went got the dewalt dcf 900 and omg, that thing is a real beast. I had been trying the harbor freight bauer earlier without success. I would have gone with heat next like @SICAMG suggested.
Couple of further questions
1. unfortunately, that black piece is all scratched up, I hope that does not have any functional implications.
@cannawhat no worries, I also got stuck with a bolt and after investigating I also bought the DeWalt and I was able to get a stubborn bolt loose haha. Listen too my reactions in this video (first time I started using it)
So I was able to push out the old bearing by simply using two 4X4's and a hammer and a bearing and race tool. However there is a white portion in the inside of the pulley. Is this normal?
Hey guys, thanks for all your help ( especially @nd-photo.nl and @SICAMG ). Everything is back on and seems to be working well so far,( at the very least I was able to start the engine)
I did the following on the car since I got it a couple of weeks ago.
I cant wait to get it off the jack stands and see whether I need to additional transmission fluid. Once that is good I need to give it a bath and go for a nice ride.
Next ill start looking into fixing the dents and fixing the scratched up paint.
Anything else I should take care of on a 160K 2006 e55
