Generator/pulleys question
 

Hey everyone,

Have you ever noticed that these cars will only break down on a weekend? They couldn't possibly break on a monday when you would be able to get parts and fix it.

Anyway, my engine tried to commit suicide today... Somehow the generator pulley hub had worn to a point where when starting the engine the inner pulley have was hitting it with a lot of force. I started it and the pulley half disintegrated.

So I need new pulleys and a hub. Does anyone know where to find those anodized pulley halves? I'd had a really nice pair before they were stolen (don't ask). I know performance products sells them, but I really hate them and will never order from them again.

Also, I haven't done this since I changed generators, does anyone know how to get the pulley hub off of the generator itself? Mine could just be stuck, but I didn't want to try pulling it off harder in case I was doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Andrew

Parts
 

Since you don't seem to like PP, how about our host? the other PP. Also Zims may have them, Stoddard for sure, Tweeks maybe.....
Sorry about your weekend.
Happy motoring,
Chas.

You can try Parts Heaven I am sure they would have what your looking for. It would be used but they do give a 90 day warranty on their stuff

Well, once again the answer is VW parts, they're much better quality in this case. I know virtually every parts palce carries the pulley parts, but not all of them are coated in the same way.

I still have no idea how to get the hub off though. Any suggestions?

It finally took two big flathead screw drivers, a hammer, a vise grip, a can of WD-40, and a gear puller to get that stupid hub off. I can't get the new parts until Tuesday, but at least I know how to fix it now.
