I have a couple of DC motors that I bought at a surplus store. They have a pulley on the shaft. How do I remove the pully without damaging the motor or is there something I could attach to the pulley? Thanks Rick Fox

If the shafts are larger (.25 or so), then make a gear puller arrangement with some scrap iron and a bolt. If they are smaller, then try heating them up (be careful, of course) and then applying steady pressure with your fingers (preferably with gloves on since the pulley is now hot ;-)) | | | | (bolt) |---------| |---------| (bar) | | | | (some sort of pulley grapple on ends of bar) | | | | (made from scrap metal/*tough* wire like piano wire) | | | | | V | |_ _| Bolt screws into the bar and the grapples are put on the pulley. Screw the bolt down and the whole mess takes the pulley off the end. You can get small gear pullers at the cheap tools counter at many hardware and lumber stores. They would work for the larger shafted pulley. -----Original Message----- From: [mailto:] Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 5:19 PM To: Subject: [BasicX] Pulleys on DC motors I have a couple of DC motors that I bought at a surplus store.
