I wouldn’t think of cutting your video short. This was another excellent one. I appreciate the tips. Didn’t know to take the tension off the torque wrench. Thanks for the timing tips.👍👍
@@SladesVWBeetle it should, I've used mine for removing gland nuts and wheel hub nuts. Bolting the columns and trusses together on the house I'm building. They rock!
Oh man, this video brings back painful memories of when I put all the tins back on after an engine rebuild, then installed the engine to realise the crank pulley tin was forgotten 😢 hours wasted and knuckles skinned! It's small and only held with two little cheesehead screws/bolts but its essential to put on before the pulley for certain!
Oh, trust me, I did that many years ago. And the worst part I forgot the little heat shields that go between the push rods and piston jugs. I had to pull the heads back off and the push rod tubes. 😁
Well hello there my friend Hope yall are doing well! It’s been a while since I visited you! I see you are still doing a great job! My granddaughter is eight almost nine, time really flies! You and the Mrs. Stay safe
Hey Beautiful!!!! Omg she’s almost nine?? That went quick!! I’ll stop over your channel and say hello! I hope you and yours are doing well! And happy and healthy!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
Yes I do. Just a heads up. The tin behind the pulley, and the tin in front of the pulley, needs to be a matching set. Unmatching tins won't mount up correctly, and will have air gaps to let hot exhaust air, back into the engine bay while going down the road.
Aftermarket crankshaft pulleys, are smaller diameter compare to the stock pulley. There is only one aftermarket pulley that is the same diameter as a stock pulley. I don't have one to confirm.
I sourced mine from CB Performance. They market it as the same diameter is the stock pulley. The description was 1887 7” Billet O.E. Style Crankcase Pulley. I had to get a new one as I bent the hell out of my original pulley and the puller (same one Slade used) getting it off. However, I had to heat the new one to install it even after polishing the internal diameter as Slade demonstrated. If I ever have to remove it I’m going to make a puller like the original VW puller.
For those who have open motors, Baja or dunebuggy, you can fix the wobble(stock pulley) with a rubber ballot while the engine is running on idle. Just lightly hit the pulley every second until the wobble is gone. Enjoy!
Yes, exactly, one side is for 6 V. I think the one I bought though, wasn’t made properly. I had to mess around with a 12 V side and fabricated slightly. I don’t know if they make better ones but I probably bought a generic one.
Oh man I"m just sick now, I have removed my distributer and have been turning my pulley to see the cam lubes and lifters inside for ware. Do you think I've damaged the gears and should i put the distributer back on to remove the pulley?
@@benntn oh no, I’m sorry to hear that, it’s possible that you could have. I don’t know without being there, my friend. I know I repeat myself a lot and videos, but that is one thing I bring up a lot. Do you know why? I did that many years ago by accident. But don’t panic, just try to inspect what you can with a flashlight, if possible to see if the gear got damaged.
"Yes I do".... I hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Always watch till the end ❤thanks uncls shouts from England 🇬🇧
And thank you very much, my friend! I hope you had a great weekend.

Thanks, brother! I truly appreciate you commenting. And watching.
Always watch till the end.
Thank you so much!
I use my Dewalt impact. It was a great birthday present from the wife
Those are really nice! I have a Milwaukee impact, I’m not sure if it would be strong enough to remove that bolt or not.

I love your long videos! I learn so much relevant stuff. Honestly, I couldn't do what I'm doing without your videos!
That is so nice of my friend, and I truly appreciate the kind comment. It’s very easy to tell you are a very good person.
@@SladesVWBeetle Aw! Thanks!
Great video as always. Like the tips at the end.
Thanks very much!!

So Strange I was literally searching for this today
That’s excellent! I hope it is very helpful. And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for the video Slade. Yes I do.😁
Thank you, my dear friend!

Yes, you’re absolutely right my friend. I have to get a different tin for in front of the pulley, technically speaking. I don’t like the one I have.
Always watching till the end and usually will watch a few times while I am in the shop doing beetle stuff
Thank you my friend. I truly appreciate that.
Yes I do.
Thank you!!
Keep it up loving your videos
Thank you I truly appreciate the kind comment.
Made it to the end

@johncollinsworth6754. The
CB Pulley is the one I heard about.
Fantastic video like always Slade. When doing medium sized rusty parts, have you ever used Naval Jelly?
No, I actually have not tried that yet. My father used that many years ago in a barbecue grill we had. I actually forgot about it.

Hi,on the flywheell locking tool,one side is for 6 V and the other is 12V ,did you check both?
Yes, exactly, one side is for 6 V. I think the one I bought though, wasn’t made properly. I had to mess around with a 12 V side and fabricated slightly. I don’t know if they make better ones but I probably bought a generic one.

@@SladesVWBeetle Thank you sir. I have not inspect the gears yet. But should I still reinstall the distributer before I try to remove the pulley nut.
Yes, I do.
