Crank Pulley Install Tools - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In November I had an ATI lower pulley installed on my car and I had to take it off due to the supercharger recall. Install and removal cost 700 dollars each by my tuner. I now plan to reinstall my larger lower pulley again but I want to avoid having to go through a tuner again (only for the tune). What are the necessary tools that I'll need to pull off the stock pulley and place the new pulley? So far I have found these as the necessary tools:

1. http://www.autozone.com/loan-a-tools...er/391370_0_0/

2. https://sdparts.com/details/scoggin-...-center/sd6628

Are there any other tools that I'll need? I know there is a tool to help walk on the AC belt, but I know it can be done without it because I actually helped my mechanic walk it on without it.

Those are the only special tools that you will need.

Perfect! Thanks for the quick response!

yes...those are the two "right" tools to make it an easy task. Walking the A/C belt on with your fingers or a socket extension to help tension the belt is the only thing I have ever used. The special tool wouldn't fit when I tried to use it because of the A/C compressor clutch.

you do know ATI has a install/removal kit right?

yep...make sure you get the special LSx stud with the ATI kit. The ATI kit doesn't work well for removal of the stock LSA pulley in my opinion. It removes an ATI pulley perfectly. Get the Chrysler 3.5L pulley tool with push rods for the easiest stock LSA pulley removal tool.

Couldn't you make a install tool pretty easy?

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-23-2015, 02:51 PM

Yes...threaded rod M16 x 2.0 and 2 large washers + nut would also suffice. The Scoggin Dickey tool listed above is far superior and very easy to use. I installed the pulley so easily that it was ridiculous.
