As the title says a new generator is being shipped to me.
I never had to remove and reinstall a generator pulley.
So my question is what do I need to know how to R & R the generator's pulley.
Thank you for your help.

AM sure that one or more of our folks will chime in here soon with some helpful info and pointers. I did find an old conversation on the topic which seems to have the info you are seeking. Unfortunately all those old picture links are no longer functioning, but the description should be helpful. Let us know how it turns out.  Dan

Same for installing it on the new generator. I suppose you could grab the pulley with a giant pair of water pump pliers to get the nut off, but that would bugger up the pulley. Or you could pull each one apart and clamp the armature in a vice, but why do that when the impact wrench method works so well?

The vendor said to wrap an old fan belt around the pulley and squeeze it tight and use an impact wrench.

That's if you can fit an impact in there. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 10,997 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 10,997 | With an impact wrench, you don't even need to hold the pulley. It'll likely just zip the nut right off. The shaft might spin a bit, but that's not a big deal.
