It's actually my old man who is the problemYou have been here since 2011 surely insurance is longer an issue for the “older-man”
are you doogie howsers
Thanks, was the shim to stop you pushing it on too far?When I fitted my 17% interference pulley, I just used a shim of the right thickness gauged using the original pulley to fit behind the new one to get the new one to the correct depth, heated the new one in the oven to 275 deg C, used some ice on the nose of the shaft and then dropped it on, but the S/C was off, so hand/finger pressure should be fine, but obviously wearing good gloves.
Hi.My r53 has a 2 part 15% pulley, I am planning to put a standard one back on to make insurance easier to get.
I can't find any guides on how to do it only to take it off.
They supplier recommend heating to 350-400c which is a bit scary.
I remember a few years ago a supplier used to say you could heat them to 250 in the oven and fit them.
Any chance of that being enough or do you need to go hotter? Can you use a blow torch?
Once it is hot enough should it just slide on with finger pressure or do you need a tool?
Do you still need to raise the engine up to make room or is that just for removal with a pulley puller?
I know I've basically got to get it on pretty quick in 1 go or will get stuck half on.
How do you know when it is on far enough?
I've got to replace the alternator so I'm going to be taking a load of stuff off around it so was thinking of having a go.
Sorry Dan, but don't bother.Hi.
If you ever need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line.

Dan.
