I am installing a andrews 30 tooth pulley on my 08 SG what size is the nut holding it on and can i make a socket,I dont want to buy or rent one for a two minute job.

 

The socket is about 7" long and has a bore that matches the OD of a puck (with left hand threads) that screws onto the end of the main shaft. It makes a lot more sence to get the right toool than try to make something work and possibly damage the main shaft.

2-1/4"

 

Thats a good lookin socket that Dawg has there.Thats what im going to make,I have two tool boxes full of tools but nothing that big.Thanks for the size.now where to get that size.

 

Check Sears, they prolly have it. Also, it is a 3/4" drive socket, so you may need the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter. And it won't be a ten minute fix. Prolly take at least 20 mins just to get that nut loose. It's on pretty tight, and has red loctite holdin it in place. Might need to apply some heat to the nut to break the loctite loose, but only apply heat to the nut nothing else.

 

Don't count on your belt still working either.

 

Dang DAWG i did the same thing...I went and bought a socket at steve's tools and cut it and welded pipe in the middle.......

 

You will also need the tool to keep the sprocket from turning. You can make that outa a short piece of 2X4. Just look at the design in the catalog and cut the wood the same shape. It will work.
You might want to consider an air tool or hammer drill to get that nut off. I broke two 1/2" breaker bars tryin to get mine off last summer. Don't put extreme pressuer on the primary chain tensioner. You'll break it. It's only plastic parts.

 

And the tip of the socket has to be ground flat so you get a good grip on that nut. there isnt alot to grab on to!

 

I will look for a socket today.and thanks for the good info i figured on heat and sweat. dont suppose anyone has the torques for the clutch,compensator,and drive pulley.
