ZPE/Griptech pulley puller
Hi,
Does anyone have one of the Griptech pulley pullers for the upper LT4 pulley by chance? I am needing one and they are out of stock, wanting to swap my pulley next weekend so I can finish getting my tune setup/ I would be willing to pay a rental fee or even buy it from you if you wanted to sell it.
Let me know, thanks in advance.... Todd

I have it and if you are local to the california bay area I'm happy to share. If not, I don't have a way to rent it as I am using it for a couple of cars at the moment. Alternatively, if you aren't local and in a bind you can send the snout to me and I'll pull it off for you and ship back.

Thanks, not local as I am in Norman OK. Also not trying to pull the supercharger or snout and have to break the system open. I appreciate the offer.

No problem. However how do you plan on reinstalling? You will need a press to put the hub back on unless you have a special hub and required tools.

Pressing it on by hand. Found several members and a couple of shops who are doing it the way I am trying. 400° for 20 minutes, spray the shaft with compressed ait from a can upside down, slide the pulley on all the way until it seats and bolt everything back together.
I am going to try and document the process, I believe a lot of people are being swayed that it cant be done and requires the entire supercharger to be removed and everything pressed on and off. As I mentioned before, I did out 16 Audi SQ5 supercharger using the heat method. Granted I had to put the supercharger as it wasnt an option, I only heated the pulley up to 300° for 20 minutes and it slipped all the way onto the shaft with zero issues.
If this works it will give others a different option.
