Why are piggy back pulleys bad? Why do they suck? I got some for cheap, but hm...if they aren't that good maybe I'll wait for steedas instead??

just make sure they arent piggy back style. piggy backs are just a pain cuz you gotta put the old balancer on the front which is a pain and i couldnt seperate my crank pulley from the stocker after i took the underdrives off so i had to beat it off which sucked cuz now i cant sell em. and i have no use for underdrives with my blower so now i'm stuck with a broke underdrive crank pulley and an alternator and a water pump pulley

I have heard that they are piggy back style pulleys. Already tried once to remove the crank pulley from the motor, wasn't successful...damnit

well with underdrives you'll have to remove it anyways.

You have to buy a pulley puller(harmonic balancer puller) get one at auto zone, rent one i mean, when your done take it back and you get all ur money back forit

yes, I got the harmonic balancer puller from auto zone and used that to try and get the crank pulley off...but to no avail. Maybe I need a breaker bar or something, because it got so hard that the bolts got a little bent at the top (where the washer-like things are).


Crap

The piggyback pulleys are when you keep the stock balancer... the rotation can throw off the balance causing havoc on the motor, and possibly breaking it... The other guys can go more into detail.. but that's the gist of it i do beleive.
