Re: Rough install = Code 3 pulley squeeks when engaging when cold
Here is the update...
I noticed when I originally installed it that the tolerances were so tight that I had to "walk" the pulley onto the shaft, and up to the clutch. This means when I was finally done, the pulley would be angled incorrectly because it was walked up the shaft, instead of slid straight.
Today I uninstalled it and tried something new... First, I used WD40 on the shaft (I did not let it touch the pulley back plate). Then... I put the pull on the end of the shaft and spun the shaft. I could see the pulley wasn't spinning straight so I held it while spinning the shaft and the pulley all of a sudden slid on, no questions asked, completely straight. So when I spin the pulley now I can see its perfectly straight spinning. After my first install I could see a very slight wobble.
So bashers of Code 3 pulley..... The pulley install IS easy, its just the person that made the instructions could've thrown in a few more hints. The pulley itself is designed perfect it would seem.
Now, I still have the problem of the slightly uneven backing plate because of my rough panic episode when I couldn't move the pulley during the first install. But I dont think this will be a problem because once the clutch magnet pull the backing plate back then it will sit even on the clutch due to the magnetic pull. As long as the uneven areas don't rub the clutch during non-s/c times, then it should be ok.
Soooooo, everything is ok. Code3's pulley is pretty cool when done right.
That being said, don't bring up Code3 merging with LET in this thread. Thats a whole new can of worms for me. A company that is always there for me like C3 merging with a company I can't even get ahold of ever.... Its uhm a strange feeling.
