Use a square shank screwdriver in the pulley slot to hold the pulley, bear against a generator screw head, then tighten the nut with the special wrench a little beyond snug.
I have sometimes held the moving part in a strap wrench in such cases; here, you could wrap the belt tightly around the pulley to hold it. I suspect you need just a little bit to inhibit the
I broke the front end plate on my generator a few weeks back trying to fix a pulley alignment issue (turned out to be a crappy aftermarket pulley issue). Anyway, I obtained a replacement and I
So, I''ve had to replace my generator on my 1970 bug recently, and when putting it back together, the pulley grinds against the bolts that are on the face of the generator. I read that shims
On the other end of the axial there was a large pulley which provides drive to the generator. It also helps balance the weight of the front blades and center circle.
Maybe I''m over thinking this, but I don''t see how you get a snug fit without kicking the generator pulley out of alignment with the belt. When I loosen up the two bottom bolts, and the top
Removing the generator/dynamo without pulling the radiator was not easy. The retaining nut had slipped, the wind ruff key slot completely worn, and the fan was loose behind the pulley.
After replacing the bearings and generators in my 1970 and 1970 VWs back in the 1970s I"ve intentionally left generator belt a little loose on those, to prevent generator
I suppose you could grab the pulley with a giant pair of water pump pliers to get the nut off, but that would bugger up the pulley. Or you could pull each one apart and clamp the armature in
