Default Whipple Pulley change question

I'm going from the 4.00 pulley to the 3.875. Do I need any special puller tool to remove the 4.00 pulley?.. And then I torque the new pulley to 17ftlbs correct? Anyone done a Whipple pulley change please chime in with some knowledge...



Thanks!

No special tool required. Loosen the 4 cap screws before taking the belt off.

I torque mine to 140 inch pounds which would be a little less than 12 ft lbs. IIRC the whipple manual calls out 125 inch pounds.

Once you do it a few times it only takes a few minutes.

Unless you accidentally strip one of your four cap screws with a worn out allen bit and a broken torque wrench. D'oh!
