I bought a UR crank pulley and the pulley was removed using a pulley holder, which apparently has 4 small teeth on it attached to a 3' or so breaker bar to hold the pulley in place and then another similiar length breaker bar is used to lossen the pulley bolt. Will this damage the pulley or negatively effect it? The marks are small.

 

shouldnt have damages it. the marks unless having burs on them wont hurt anything (unless they are big enought to cause a imbalance

 

That is the specific tool used to hold the OEM pulley. Not to worry, the OEM pulley is designed with those teeth for the purpose of that tool to hold it. Using that tool on the UR is impossible though and if they used it to install your pulley, promptly tell them they owe you a new UR pulley because it may have been scored.

 

Its my UR pulley. I couldnt take off the crank nut with my SNAP ON im3500 impact gun. I also used my friends IR 1000lbs torque impack gun and a few others and couldnt bust it loose. Me and a co worker had to use the pulley holder and a 3 ftbreaker bar to take it off and it still wasnt easy. The pulley is still in good shape. It just has those 4 teeth marks that wont effect anything. Here are some pictures. It is very small.

Sorry the links dont work.

 

Air gun > pulley holder

Good news is that it'll be fine.

 

sometimes a airgun wont work, and a piece of clothsline rope fed into a cyl by removing a sparkplug will keep the engine from rotating

 

So Pure based on those pictures you feel the pulley is still okay?

 

i believe it is. if there are any rough spots on the inner trace where the belt may rub on take a file ans carefully file them down

 

I don't think it'll cause any problems. It's not like the pulley is missing a chunk or anything. They just have indentations now, and that won't change the rotating mass of the pulley or anything. And even if it did, it would be a negligible amount.

Also, the marks seem to be out of the way of the belt. But if you're worried, and rightfully so, you could light sand down any sharp edges on the inner side of the pulley where the indentations are made to smooth things out.

 

Cool, all set. I will get the pulley. Props to UglyPsyco for be straight up and honest. Cannot wait to get these even more now.

 

thanks for everyones help.
