FJ62 3FE Crank Pulley Repair

A while back I aquired a FJ62 3FE groove crank pulley from an IH8MUD member for my mini-truck power steering install. When I received it I noticed it had a groove worn on the shaft where the timing cover seal rides. See Fig. 1. I ordered a SKF 99177 Speedi-Sleeve to repair it. Note: This sleeve is the exact same sleeve used to repair a parking brake drum shaft. In the meantime I gave it a coat of hammered silver paint.

  1. I placed the crank pulley into my meat freezer (-15 degrees) for a couple of hours to make it easier to drive the sleeve into position. While the pulley was chilling I read the install instructions.
  2. I placed the now frozen crank pulley on a firm surface and following the instructions put a thin coat of non-hardening sealant (in my case blue silicone) on the inside of the sleeve.
  3. Using the supplied driver tool and a small hammer I easily drove the seal about 3/4 way down the shaft (See Fig. 2 ) then did a test fit. Turns out it needed to go down further to center the seal in the middle of the sleeve. It ended up almost flush. (Sorry no pic)
  4. Once I had it correct I used a sharp chisel to start separating the lip from the sleeve and needle nose pliers to pull it off.
  5. Then I cleaned the silicone off the shaft, lubed up the inside and outside of the pulley shaft with grease and used a rubber mallet to tap it into place. See Fig. 3.
