Getting closer to doing the puley upgrade, and would like to see if anyone has a removal tool which I could borrow for the process?
I am in Vic so I guess anyone in Melbourne would be the easiest?
Any help is apprecaited.
Thanks

I used a minimania pulley remover when i did mine. The original pulley is still jammed in the remover! It only just managed. I will have a go at removing the pulley from the remover

tomorrow. You're welcome to borrow it if it is still useable. I'll let you know.

Hi Stephen
Thanks for this.
Did you do the swap yourself?

I used/borrowed the workshop belonging to a couple of guys who used to work for the local BMW/Land rover dealership. They have set up their own business, now running very well.
We put the mini on the hoist @ 4pm on a Friday, stripped everything off that needed to be out of the way and then fitted the pulley and other stuff (GTT230 kit plus header, sport cat etc) on saturday morning, did oil change and service @ same time. Finished about 10 am. They still charged me about $350

Good fun to do some bits myself but also nice to have the backup available and a hoist and all the right tools to hand.
