Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
I have a two piece crankshaft pulley that needs replacing. The new two piece pulley and the old crankshaft sleeve do not match (different manufacturers I guess). Any suggestions on how to get the old sleeve off the crankshaft so I can use the new sleeve? I hope the question makes sense.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
Probably cutting partially through with a dremel type cutter. If your engine is out I would replace with single piece pulley - it will last your life time unless man handled and broken.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
They sell a 2 piece pulley that screws together with a L/H thread & when installed, looks like a stock pulley. I "think" Sacramento Vintage has them, you gotta' look close to find it in the catalog, or call them.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
I agree with Bill the 2 piece pulley that screws together is the way to go. Also make sure the crank nut is bottoming out on the pulley and not the end of the crankshaft or you will have trouble keeping the nut on.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
what I am reading gives me the idea that a two-piece pulley is not the way to go since there is no guarantee that any given replacement will fit the stub on the crank, which defeats the purpose of going two-piece.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
I went with Bill Stipe's one piece machined pulley. It's a PITA to install if the engine is in the car, but it's a once in a lifetime event, and well worth the effort. If the engine is out of the car, it's a no brainer.

I'm not aware of anyone who sells either half of the 2-piece pulley so you will always get a matched stub and pulley.

Re: Model A Crankshaft pulley replacement.
Actually the reason for the two piece pulley is so you can change a broken pulley without lifting the engine. Most of us are using the two piece rope seal, but changing a one piece seal would have a slight advantage when using the 2 piece pulley. The pan and front cover would still need to be removed for the one piece seal change.

I did one that way. Cut almost all the way through 4 times around the pulley and used a big screwdriver in the slot to twist and crack it into sections.

I know that removing the radiator-hood-hose connections-headlamp conduits is a hassle, I simply thought the two-piece pulley would be simple. Seems like not much in our cars as we know them today is. |
