How do you guys lock your blower up to loosen the pulley bolt without destroying anything? I have my blower sitting on my workbench if that matters. I was thinking of wrapping the pulley with something to protect it when I grab it with something. Does the bolt have loctite on it? Do I have to heat it to get it off? Thanks guys for any insite.....John.

 

I hold mine with a strap wrench.. Loosen the bolt, if you can't get the pulley off, you could try heating it slightly..

You can wrap the belt around it a few times & use that for traction. Generally holding the belt around the pulley with 2 hands & having someone loosen the bolt w/ an impact wrench works easily.

Without an impact, you will need a strap wrench to prevent pulley damage. Any metal tools will potentially ruin the pulley.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks guys, I will try that. Also do you loctite the bolt when putting it back together? Thanks again....John.

 

I use the blue Loctite.... I forget the number.

 

I just removed the pulley on my sn93 with an impact and it snapped off . Guess I have to drill it out. Anyone know how deep it goes?
