Evosport Pullies

Pauljay · 09-29-2009, 05:49 PM

Hey Guys.

I have a 2000 W208 CLK.

I bought a set of Evosports underdrive pullies and got a shop to fit them. The pullies went on except the power steering pulley. Anyone had this problem?

The problem is the power steering pulley comes with a press-on pulley attached so you cannot easily remove it. The shop said to remove the pulley and fit Evosports one they would have to heat the pulley up and risk damaging the bearings so they wouldn't do it.

I spoke to another shop and they said they would use a special tool to get the pulley off from behind as the nut on the front doesn't do a thing and it is 5-6hrs labour!!

Is there another way?
Is there another power steering pump that fits our cars where the pulley comes off?

The labour is twice the price of the pullies!

Here's a pic of the pulley in question.

Yes you need a special tool to R&R that pulley. PTE talks about it here

He likes the KD brand tool. When I did my pulleys I borrowed a snap on tool from a friend that looks totally different then the KD design but worked easily for me. I was able to do it without removing the power steering pump and it only took about 20 minutes. If you have the pump out it should be pretty easy with the proper tool. The shop is correct the nut on the front has nothing to do with removing the pulley.

Unlike PTE I did have to remove the alternator. Mine was on so tight I broke two strap wrenches before giving up and pulling the whole alternator out of the car.

Hey thanks Suicidal.

I've got the other 2 pullies on already just the power steering pump to go.
20mins sounds alot better! The pulley is still on the car so I'll leave it on. I'll try and find that Snap-on tool to use
