Help please

I'm fitting a new water pump (and thermostat) this weekend - spent this afternoon trying to get the shot pump out - and all by myself, I'm nearly there!

What I've done so far....

1) Slacken dynamo mounting bolts and rotated dynamo inwards ( to get the fan belt off),
2) removed the upper radiator hoses
3) removed the thermostat housing from cylinder head complete with outlet pipe, inlet elbow and joint washer
4) removed the fan blade

So - all I need to do now is remove the fan pulley then unbolt the actual pump.

My question is this - once the fan blades are off - does the fan pulley just pull off too? I can't see any bolts to undo - the workshop manual doesn't show any either - but I tried pulling it forward and it wouldn't budge.

Do I need to pull harder or is there something I'm missing?

Good to see the workshop manual instructions haven't improved in detail in 54 years

I'm borrowing Numpty's real workshop manual - it's a heap better than the book I have. But yeah - to dumbarses like me - there could be a little more detail.

But answering my own question - I think I might just need to pull harder - the manual lists the bolts I took out of the fan blade (parts 46 and 47) as being, "Fixings for fan blade and pulley" - so I guess I'll just try again tomorrow.

But please - any experts please confirm I just need to pull harder!

Hi Dan,

Usually things like that just require a little more persuasion . Sometimes two screwdrivers, one from each side levering it off can help. Or you might need a puller which is three arms that hook under the pulley and a bolt that tightens up against the centre and pulls it off. If you don't have one they are pretty cheap from autobarn, supercheap or repco or you could come and borrow one if you like.

using your largest screw drivers
2 would be good
slowly work around between the housing and the block, using them as a lever
very gentle taping with a copper hammer will help to brake 50 odd years of rust
a little heat around the edge of the housing may also help
gently gently catchy monkey
it will come away, no need to remove radiator and cowling
cheers
