Cam pulley replacement

[turkehunt]

The cam pulley on my CJ 3A wobbles  :-?probably from improper removal and installation in the past sometime   What is the proper way to remove the nut and the pulley ? Im thinking an air impact driver and a 3 jawed puller ? Then replace the bent pulley and the bent up nut with new ones from Walck's    Thanks in advance for your replys

Well, there's no cam pulley on an L134 engine so I will assume you mean the crankshaft pulley. Yes, you can use an impact wrench to remove the bolt and then pull the pulley with a puller but it may bend it. Since you are replacing the pulley bending it won't matter. When you put the new pulley on I suggest you torque the crank bolt rather than using an impact wrench to tighten it. You will have to put it in gear and set the parking brake to torque the crank bolt.

Turke,
I replaced my old crankshaft pulley also. The old one made the whole engine wobble.  Carl's instructions a dead on.  
I will add that I got my replacement pulley from Walcks.  It was a little disappointing to me that the new pulley still has a slight wobble.  

I think it's Pete Debella that does a pulley that is machined from a solid chunk of steel vs the stamped style. It's 6 times the $$$$, but I am now considering it.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but admiration for Walcks, but I think his pulley is the same pulley everyone has access to.  Probably Omix Ada.
