How do I get my water pump pulley off?
RazMan - 15/12/05 at 10:45 PM

I'm fitting an electric water pump so I would like to remove the water pump pulley which is attached by a magical force on the end of the camshaft.
I can't see any visible means of fixing like grub screws or bolts so it might be a keyed interference fit or just screwed on a thread.

Any ideas guys?

its an device with 3 or 2 arms and one center bolt..

when screwing in that bolt you pull on the arms...

its made for suchs conical fittings...

15secs to take of that thing..

Haynes describes and shows it being removed with a puller from the end of the camshaft.

Thanks Dusty - I must have missed that in the manual - I'll try and find my puller now
