Pulley Bolt

[johnnyhoz]

I know this might sound strange but are all pulley bolts standard threds ie. anti clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten?
I’m trying to remove a pulley from a Zanussi ZWX 1505 and it’s being a b******d I can’t seem to shift it and I had a horrible thought perhaps I was tightening it

Re: Pulley Bolt

only lefthand threads I can think of used in this trade are fan oven fan nuts and indesit L5 pump impellars (yes I am that old! 😥 )
get yourself an impact driver and give it a few good whacks.

That would be one of those allen bolts with a countersunk head then? I think they make those out of cream cheese? 😆

Try warming it up with a blow lamp to melt the loctite.

Re: Pulley Bolt

Two minutes warm up with the blowlamp then a couple of sound blows with a lead mallet will free it off 8)
