Air Compressor Pulley

[DHennon]

I am replacing all the belts and hoses on my deuce. In looking over TM 2320-209-20-3-2, page 13-252 the instructions refer to loosening the crankshat nut with a 1 1/8' socket, and then using a compressor pulley tool, (I have the 2 special wrenches) loosen the the outer pulley. My questions are 2:

1. Is it necessary to loosen the crank nut in the center of the compressor pulley?
2. Facing the engine, does the outer or forward-most pulley half turn clock-wise or counter clock-wise to loosen?

I have soaked everything in PB Blaster. There is quite a bit of rust on the back pulley nut and the crank shaft nut and I do not want to force either in the wrong direction.

Thanks for your help.

1. No
2. Counter clock-wise to loosen.

I had to remove the bolt and use a puller to the whole thing off to separate in a vice. I had to work on mine for a few days heating, beating and soaking. Good Luck!

Thanks littlebob and hoop. I soaked the bolts, pulley nut and threads with PB Blaster and using the compressor pulley wrenches, the pulley came apart, no problem. The cost of the compressor wrenches are worth double the price!!

Where is a good source to buy the compressor pulley wrenches?

 

[DHennon]

go to the classified section and look under "Tools" Comdiver sells them for $60.00 a set. Believe me, they are worth double that! Good guy to work with.
