I'll have to go borrow another puller from the local parts store. This one won't handle it. :-/Get the claws down on the spokes and pull from there. I think there was even little pads on corner of each spoke for the claws to go behind.
Edit: woops, I see you tried that already. Flip the claws around and/or use the other holes on the claws till you get a combo that gets in there
Getting it back on is tough if you don't have a stupid long rod. I went to Ford and they let me borrow the correct tool for the job.
Use zipties to get the ac belt back on. Takes not even a minute doing it like that.
Oh I got a long rod!!!! Lmao.Getting it back on is tough if you don't have a stupid long rod. I went to Ford and they let me borrow the correct tool for the job.
Use zipties to get the ac belt back on. Takes not even a minute doing it like that.
I believe I used the closer holes on the puller.
I took the belt off with a crowbar and turning the crank by hand. Came right off in 2 seconds. Put the A/C belt on the compressor fully and bent the belt around the back side of the ATI. Then just held the belt with my hand on the ATI while turning the crank by hand. Belt went right back on. No zip ties needed.
no zip ties need to put the belt on. just slide the belt with ribs facing out behind the balancer and front cover at the top.
put the belt on the a/c pulley and on the bottom of the balancer rotate the eng counter clock wise to pull the belt on. With that any time you move the motor with the key off you should do a crank relearn.
