Hey guys,
Looking to upgrade the blower on my 2011 gt500 to a TVS. Open to Gen II, R, etc. For the right price.
Would also like to pick up some injectors and TB if at all possible. Feel free to shoot me a PM, or reply here with prices as I'm sure others are looking for the same thing.
Thanks everyone for the help, after several attempts and bending the pulley all to hell I eventually got it off by continuing to crank and adding some light tapping on the top/back of the metal backer behind the pulley. The new pulley hub went on without without issue except for a squeaky belt...
Tried again this evening. Verified the two outer screws were screwed in evenly. Got pretty much the same result where the lower portion of the backplate moves but won't break the pulley loose up top.
I think you may be right about the puller not being straight. I kind of just quickly eyeballed it not realizing the importance of having it straight. So heat and a straight puller will be my next try!
So I went back at it with a breaker bar and it looks like all I'm doing is bending the pulley ring along the edges. I've now hit it with some PB blaster and I'll try again in the morning. Next step is heat. Any suggestions beyond that?
Thanks guys I ended up getting it by wrapping the old belt around the pulley, clamping it then running it below one of the other idler pulleys and holding it tight. Now I can't get the old pulley off using a Metco pulley puller, but i made a new thread for that. I really appreciate all the...
Alright so its just that difficult then I suppose. The way it seems to always be described it should basically pop right off without too much effort. Thanks for the response.
Trying to remove the upper pulley from the stock eaton using a metco pulley puller. I was told the pulley is a bllietflow pulley but I'm not 100% that's what it is.
I am torquing on this thing as hard as I can counter clockwise and it's turning ever so slightly but it doesn't seem like it...

In the process of putting on a metco 4 piece idler kit and swapping to a metco 2.80 upper pulley. I'm trying to remove the bolt from the center of the pulley, which I believe is a billetflow pulley, and it's not budging.
I currently have the belt off due to swapping the other pulleys.
I...
Went ahead and switched it out with another that was longer so issue resolved I believe. Thanks again everyone for your help. Hopefully the belt goes on without issue.
Does anyone need an older metco 90mm idler or stock shifter? Just pay shipping and their yours.
Alright. Got the lug stud removed and searched everywhere for a replacement with no luck. Does anyone know where I can pick one up? If not I'll just try swapping it out with another one. Picture attached for reference.
