1990 Geo Tracker Crankshaft Pully Removal

The 1990 Geo Tracker is a small Jeep-like vehicle with a four-cylinder engine. The crankshaft is a metal rod that spins in the center of the engine. The crankshaft pulley is connected to the crankshaft from the outside of the engine. The drive belt runs around the crankshaft pulley, so you will need to remove the belt before you can remove the pulley. You will need a few basic tools and one specialty tool to remove the pulley from the engine.

Things You'll Need

• Adjustable wrench
• Pulley remover tool
• Power drill

Instructions

1. Open the hood, and lock the wrench onto the tension pulley on the side of the engine toward the top. The tension pulley is right behind the alternator. Pull the tension pulley toward the front of the engine, and remove the belt from the crankshaft pulley.

2. Connect the pulley remover tool to the power drill, and tighten the tip of the power drill. Place the socket on the pulley remover onto the nut in the center of the crankshaft pulley.

3. Set the power drill to reverse, and pull the trigger. Hold the trigger down until the nut in the center of the pulley comes off of the pulley. Remove the power drill from the pulley, and pull the crankshaft pulley off of the engine.
