How to remove Power Steering Pulley?
Just found this great site, hope you guys can help me with my question.
I broke a peace of the power steering pulley on my BMW 2002 X5. I need to replace it, but I can not take it out. It is held with 3 bots, but as I try loosening the bolts the pulley turns. Is there a ways to jam to pulley so that it does not turn? Or do I have to remove the complete power steering pump and use some sort of pulley removal tool? What is the appropriate way to remove the Power Steering Pulley on a BMW 2002 X5? |

Did you slightly loosen the bolts before removing the belt? Usually you can use the installed belt to hold the pulley enough. If the belt is not enough, is there a recess or something on the pump shaft that might accept a Hex, Torx, or Spline bit to hold the shaft? |
You can rent, for free, pulley removal tools from places like Autozone, Schucks, etc. What were you prying on to break it in the first place?

Thanks for the advice, I saw some other post on the internet and that is exactly what I did. I used a our compressor gun to get the three bolt out that hold the pulley, this way the pulley did not spin while loosing the three bolts. Then I rented (for free) a pulley removal device from Autozone to pressure out the pulley.
The reason I broke the pulley in the first place is because I thought it was a tough metal and I try prying on it to release the Vbelt hyrolic tentioner. I know that the belt tentioner has it's one hex screw (bolt) on the tentioner pulley but I did not have the right hex tool then. |
