Ribbed Crankshaft Pulley Remover Tool

Brief Overview

This is a precision pulley removal tool designed specifically for ribbed crankshaft and auxiliary pulleys. The adjustable jaw design accommodates a wide range of pulley sizes, making it compatible with most production vehicles without requiring multiple specialty tools. The low-profile configuration allows access in tight engine bay spaces where standard pulley extractors cannot fit. For technicians who regularly service serpentine belt systems, this tool eliminates the risk of pulley damage during removal—a critical advantage when dealing with expensive OEM components. Pair this with a 17mm alternator pulley socket for a complete pulley service solution, or consider the 3/8-inch drive variant if your shop standardizes on that drive size.

Key Features

• Adjustable clamping jaws slide freely along the central bar to fit pulley diameters across most vehicles
• Low-profile design enables access in congested engine compartments
• Ball-ended forcing screw prevents cam-out and distributes removal force evenly across the pulley bore
• Machined steel construction with blackened finish resists corrosion and wear
• Includes dedicated hex key for jaw adjustment and set screw tightening
• Grooved jaw contact faces grip ribbed pulley surfaces securely without slipping

Why This Drives Shop Profitability

Damage Prevention = Customer Retention: Ribbed crankshaft pulleys are expensive replacements. This tool removes them without marring surfaces, protecting your labor margin and building customer trust.

Versatility Reduces Inventory: The adjustable jaw capacity eliminates the need for multiple size-specific extractors. Stock one tool instead of three, freeing working capital for higher-turn items.

Fits Tight Spaces: Low-profile design means you're not forced into expensive engine lift situations on jobs where alternators or belt tensioners block access. Faster jobs, higher throughput.

Professional Presentation: Selling this to independent shops positions your company as the source for the tools that solve real problems—not commodity sockets and wrenches. It signals quality and expertise.

Application Context

Ideal for:

• Serpentine belt system service (crankshaft pulley removal)
• Alternator pulley access and replacement
• Harmonic balancer removal on engines without central bolt access
• Auxiliary pump pulley service (water pump, power steering, AC compressor)
