Ribbed Crankshaft Pulley Remover Tool
Brief Overview
This is a precision-engineered pulley extraction tool designed specifically for removing ribbed crankshaft pulleys, alternator drives, air conditioning compressor pulleys, and water pump wheels without risk of damage to the fastener or surrounding components. The adjustable arm design and compact low-profile construction allow it to accommodate a wide range of vehicle models—from compact European platforms to larger displacement engines. If your shop also handles V-belt pulleys, pairing this with a dedicated V-belt pulley socket gives your technicians a complete pulley removal solution.
Key Features
- Serrated Ribbed Jaw Blocks: Precisely machined teeth grip multi-rib pulley grooves without slipping or cam-out
- Wide Jaw Capacity: 25–145mm inside spacing covers most aftermarket and OEM pulley designs
- Adjustable Arm Assembly: Side-adjustment mechanism allows rapid setup for different pulley diameters
- Low-Profile Design: 80mm total height and 230mm length enable access in tight engine bays
- Dual Threaded Rods: Parallel puller rods ensure even, balanced load distribution and prevent binding
- Ball-Ended Forcing Screw: Precision ball tip centers pressure on the crankshaft snout, reducing collar damage
- Drive Compatibility: Accepts 3/8-inch ratchet or 16mm spanner for one-handed torque application
- Oxide-Coated Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant finish maintains tool integrity across storage and seasonal use
Business Advantages for Resellers
- High-Frequency Application: Pulley removal is standard on every engine service (timing belt, serpentine replacement, alternator swap)—drives repeat stock turns
- Damage Prevention: Eliminates costly comebacks caused by stripped pulley bolts or scored crankshaft collars
- Workshop Efficiency: Reduces labor time on pulley extraction by 60–70% versus hammer-and-chisel methods
- Competitive Margin: Industrial-grade tool justifies professional pricing while remaining cost-effective versus competitor offerings
- Versatility: Single tool replaces manual force application, dead blows, and improvised leverage—reduces shop tool sprawl

Why This Tool Matters
Modern engines rely on ribbed serpentine belts, which require precision pulley removal to prevent thread stripping or collar damage. This tool's matching jaw profile eliminates guesswork and amateur damage. The adjustable arms accommodate variance in pulley design without requiring multiple tool purchases—a cost advantage your customers will recognize.
Recommended Stock Level: Essential for any shop performing timing service, alternator replacement, or serpentine belt work. Strong turnaround on volume orders for fleet service centers.
For shops managing multiple pulley removal scenarios, consider pairing this with a crankshaft pulley disassembly tool for specialized bolt-on applications.
