Removing front pulley

[stevenct]

I have a 98 carryall with a fe350. I need to get the case cover off behind the belt pulley but dont know how to get the pulley off. I already removed the clutch. The cam isnt turning, looks like the gear sheared. Thanks

Is the pulley not part of the clutch? If I remember right they are a unit which needs a special puller or homemade deal to remove.....

[stevenct]

I pulled the clutch off with a steering wheel puller. Its seperate from the pulley behind it.

Thanx scottyb! I was looking at it all wrong. I know what to do now. Either buy the tool or make one. Thanx again

[scottyb]

Okay ~ good luck!

sounds as though you might need a new clutch too! do you have the tapered shaft from the engine or is it a non tapered shaft? this might tell us if you blew your clutch aprt or if you got it off, and some how your starter pulley got jammed on it. (which i have no idea how that happened).
but yes scottyhe needs the puller. i have one he could borrow if he cant get one. i well mail it to him. but i need to find, after my wife moved it. it will cost around 5 bucks to ship to the land of obama.

Thanks Fellas. I just cut a rod that fit in the hole and used a 7/16 fine thread bolt to press it off. Cost me $3.41 total. The rivets sheared of the cam gear and bent a valve. I got everything I need, just gotta pick up a new front seal. we have a dealer somewhat local for the seal. My buddy got 2 carryalls. I had to finish the 18hpbriggs and stratton upgrade someone started and I got this one for free

bolt the cam gear back on the cam with machine screws and nuts unless it broke the gear. valve will be a dealer item.

steve any kw pwer dealer can get the seal. that engine is coded for club car only. you can get one beside the cc version at any kow power dealer. just take a few moments to look up the parts!
