***CAUTION*** I do my own stunts!
I didn’t know there was a universally accepted “right way” Ken. i admit I didn’t watch the whole thing- I never do. That’s why there’s a slider on the bottom of the screen. I used a pair of vise-grips just like that. You’re not going to bend the pulley- the vise grips are only clamping the rim of the pulley. They’re not clamping the pulley to something else, just squeezing the thickness of the pulley. It worked awesome for me. I tried putting something through the holes but when I hit the wrench with my bfh, the stupid pulley bounced and the things fell out. I guess if it’s not on too tight that would have worked but the vise grip trick locked the pulley in place and allowed me to really smack the wrench. I didn’t have a pipe big enough to fit over the end of my crescent wrench since it has a bigger handle than a box wrench and no box wrench that size. Tony has already tried a few other methods and failed. This worked for me. What one person thinks is wrong might be the right way for others.
When I said wrong way, I was referring to fighting around the fan shroud. It takes like 1 minute to pull the pins that hold the upper half of the fan shroud and get it out of the way.
Watching someone struggle to do something because they are to stupid or to stubborn to just remove something and get it out of their way is painful.
I suppose if you are replacing the waterpump then bending the pulley, should it happen, wouldn't be a big deal anyway.
