Im installing a griptech pulley onto my ess head unit. Did not realize its a press hub. No big deal but I don't have a pulley install tool of that size. Any recommendations or tricks?

Can try heating the pully with a soldering torch so it heats up and expands then pull it off and then do the same for the new 1, heat it up push it on as much as you can then use the bolt to pull it the rest of the way, best of luck

I have a griptec also, but I don’t understand your question

Do you mean this? It holds the pulley while you loosen or tighten the main bolt, which you’ll only have to put one once because with the griptec pulley it slids over the shaft

Heated it up in the oven and it slipped right on. I already had it in the oven but thought I'd ask while I waited for it to get done . Thanks guyS!
