How do I remove the front pulley - Cars & Trucks

Remove drive belts. Remove crankshaft pulley bolt. Remove crankshaft pulley. Remove front timing cover seal. Reverse procedure to install.

1. Disconnect battery and block drive wheel.
2.Remove cooling fan and fan shroud
3.Remove drive belt
4.Remove front crank shaft sensor
5.Hold down the crank pulley(strap wrench)
6.Use a breaker bar,front pulley nut is 22mm
Becareful at this area, when pulling out the pulley, If it is necessary for you to remove the front radiator. A crankshaft pulley remover should be used.
7.With the front pulley removed,The front crankseal can now be pulled out be careful NOT to nick the timing cover.
8.Clean the bore of old seal material
9.When you get the new seal ready for installation on the inner lip lubricate it with grease so it will not suffer a dry run.
10.Drive the seal in using a socket and hammer.
11.Inspect the crankshaft before installing. If the cranksaft has any deep grooves ,a press on sleeve will be required.
12.Lubricate the pulley and line up with the half moon dowel and reinstall.
13. Torque the Pulley to specifcation 29Ft-lbs 36Ft-lbs with an additional 60 degree turn
Reinstall in reverse order

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using FixYa.
3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES-SERPENTINE BELT

See Figure 12
The Poly-V drive belt is provided with a dynamic tensioner to maintain proper belt tension. To remove or install this belt:

1. Raise the front of the vehicle and safely support on jackstands.
2. Remove the right front splash shield.
3. Release tension of the belt by rotating the tensioner assembly clockwise.
4. While holding the tensioner in the rotated position, remove the belt from the various pulleys-make sure to note the route that the belt takes before removal.
5. To install the belt, route it through the various pulleys except for the tensioner pulley. Once the belt is satisfactorily mounted on the pulleys, rotate the tensioner clockwise and slide the belt onto the tensioner pulley. Make certain that the belt is mounted so that the grooves in the belt are correctly aligned with the grooves in the pulleys.
   

Fig. Fig. 12: To remove the serpentine belt from the 3.3L and 3.8L engines, rotate the tensioner assembly clockwise

1. Install the right front splash shield to the underside of the vehicle.
2. Lower the vehicle back to the ground.
3. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes. Shut the engine off and double check the placement of the belt on the pulleys.

GM Century/Lumina/Grand Prix/Intrigue 1997-2000 Water Pump - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

3.1L and 3.4L (VIN E) Engines

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.


2. Partially drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
3. Remove the drive belt guard.
4. Loosen the water pump pulley bolts before removing the drive belt. This should help keep the pulley from turning as the bolts are loosened.
5. Remove the drive belt. Please see .
6. Remove the water pump pulley bolts and remove the pulley.
7. Remove the water pump bolts and separate the pump from the engine front cover.

To install:



Fig. Exploded view of the water pump and front cover arrangement-3.1L and 3.4L (VIN E) engines

1. Clean all parts well. Use care when scraping gasket material from the front cover and the pump. Do not gouge aluminum parts. Clean the bolt threads well. The torque specification is low and if the bolt threads are dirty, an accurate torque is not possible and leaks are likely to develop.
2. Using a new gasket, install the water pump to the front cover. Install the cleaned and lightly lubricated water pump bolts. Torque to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
3. Install the water pump pulley and bolts and torque to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
4. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process. When refilling the cooling system, use the proper mix of DEX-COOL® and water. Check for leaks.

3.4L (VIN X) Engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Partially drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
3. Remove the coolant recovery reservoir.
4. Remove the drive belt. Please see .
5. Remove the pulley bolts and separate the pulley from the water pump.
6. Remove the water pump bolts and remove the pump from the engine.

To install:

1. Clean all parts well. Use care when scraping gasket material from the front cover and the pump. Do not gouge aluminum parts. Clean the bolt threads well. The torque specification is low and if the bolt threads are dirty, an accurate torque is not possible and leaks are likely to develop.
2. Using a new gasket, install the water pump to the front cover. Install the cleaned and lightly lubricated water pump bolts. Torque to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
3. Install the water pump pulley and bolts and finger-tighten the bolts.
4. Install the drive belt, then torque the pulley bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
5. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process. When refilling the cooling system, use the proper mix of DEX-COOL® and water. Check for leaks.

Hope this help (remember comment and rated this).
