It would be vastly helpful. If you would have committed upon the possibility of REVERSE THREAD, somewhere in this video! It turned a 45 minute job into 5 hours of endless frustration. Try removing a left handed nut using the right handed nut removal method. Having to put the motor in a vise and using a pipe wrench in an attempt to remove the pulley. I worked on it with cheater bars until it broke up and fell off. And as you might have guessed, when I started to thread the new pulley on, that's right, it wouldn't go. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE, add an amendment to this video. Informing everyone of the real possibility that they my have a REVERSE THREAD PULLEY SHAFT! Submitted Respectfully, Marty

FYI shaft of the motor has flattened sides, I used a adjustable cresent wrench and vice grips to remove the old pulley. Whirlpool\Kenmoore 70-80 series.

How much do you tighten the motor pulley? Tell it can't go anymore?

I discovered the motor pulley broken while trying to replace a belt on my dryer. I got a new motor pulley now, but can't get the other half of the old one off of the shaft! Any ideas?

@TamanduaGirl 2 жыл бұрын

Okay but it's BROKEN. There is only the back curved part to take off but no way to grab onto it since it's CURVED and the part you grabbed broken off. How do you actually get it off?

Vice grips

Pipe wrench, also be careful, it might be reverse thread.

Could this pulley be why my belt keeps shredding? I just replaced the other pulley and wheels. Not sure which is causing the shredding

Howdy need your help: I can’t find the motor pulley part I have a MAYTAG SDG3606AWW can you point me in the right direction? Thank you

@rudyjoe129 10 ай бұрын

I just replaced the motor pulley on my whirlpool because the old one broke and ripped the belt as well. The new one did the same thing within a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any idea as to why the threads are getting destroyed causing the belt to break as well???
