scratching my head here fellas...

hey all, trying to pull my secondary off to install my spring and washers from james today and I've been trying for a few times now. I tried some penetrant and a puller with some bolts in the 6mm holes in the face light taps with wood and brass drift . heat and cool a few times. nada. any ideas newish to me rhino had no cover on it so who knows what cruddy corrosion is between shaft and secondary. any ideas? 2008 700. yes the nut and fan is all off. don't wanna break it.

I don't have any advice but I would call James directly, he would be happy to help!

I may not understand but is the belt off im kinda slow. I did mine a couple weeks ago used an impact to take off nut for secondary and nut for primary and slid everthing off

If the belts off and it wont slide off. Ua id call james too

Ya belt is off I spoke with James about it before he cautioned me on the puller I just tried to call him again for other ideas he was talking about a very good penetrant oil maybe ill pm him phone is full lol. Very busy guy lately

May have to find a way to tilt the vehicle pretty good to one side so the pentrating oil can run down in between the shaft and the secondary. Sounds like shes frozen good

If it were mine it would get some imdustrial strength penatrating oil and sit on its side for 24 hrs. Just dont know if u can buy the stuff never looked for it but we use it on airplanes all the time. Good luck man

pb plaster and jb 80 are very good ,i work on heavy equiptment everyday and we go through cases of this stuff every month , best to let it soak overnight, mick

I will second that, let it soak over night or two if needed. Then smack it lightly with a nylon or rubber hammer.

Panter Piss should do the job, you ran a bolt in the secondary sheave to spread it some, that should help get some PP in around the shaft. Maybe spread it and loosen it; and repeat several times to work it a little bit.

got it off just now had a little heat on it and I've been soaking pb blaster and wd and anything else i could find. had the puller on it with tension on the shaft and kept tapping the end of it had a friend keep some tension on the sheave so it didn't bounce and slowly it came... didn't really look all that bad once it was off shaft looked good. thanks for all who commented.
