Introduction

This guide is useful because many people at home do not know how to repair their broken gym equipment. When people are unfamiliar on how to fix their exercise machine, they usually call someone to repair it and people may sometimes overcharge for a simple task. This is a dilemma for people who own gym equipment because they will throw out their exercise machine and buy a new one when they could have simply replaced the damaged part.

This guide will help you save money and restore valuable gym equipment.

What you need

Step 1

              Pulley
  • Place your adjustable wrench on the nut, adjust it to fit, and use the Allen wrench to hold the bolt in place when removing the nut.
  • Take off the washer that is with the nut and put them both aside for later.

  • Use your Allen wrench and unscrew the bolt. After this the pulley will have nothing holding it.
  • Take the worn-out pulley off the machine and put it aside.
  • Take your new pulley and place it were the worn-out pulley used to be and hold it in place.
  • You may need another pair of hands to hold the pulley in place while you put the bolt back into place.

Step 3

  • Place the washer, then the Allen bolt in the pulley and use the Allen wrench to screw it back into place.
  • Place the nut on the bolt and tighten by hand. Then use the adjustable wrench to tighten it completely.
  • Do not screw your nut on too tight. If the nut is too tight the pulley will not have a full range of motion and your equipment will seem stiff when you try and use it.
  • Once everything is set-up take your old pulley and dispose of it by taking it to the appropriate waste disposal company.
