Can the plastic pulley be replaced with a metal one?

It does not matter from which material pulley made off. So metal would work just as good as plastic as long as you doing exercise.

I'm sure it could be done, but I would suggest first try putting a piece of electrical tape (or any tape for that matter) across it, if you could just weaken the pull a bit might do the trick.

I have used my Bayou fitness for almost 2 years, almost on a daily basis, and had no problem with the pulleys and I am a big guy. So I don't think you have to worry about the strength of the plastic pulleys.

Yes, but know that the metal key is imbedded into the plastic. If your just looking for a screw might be cheaper to go to the local hardware store.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

Did you end up using this as a replacement for your 194326? I am thinking of doing the same because the plastic pulleys suck.

You will not need any tools. My pulley came with a defect and did not actually spin. We used tools to fix it, but you should not need any tools if it comes the way it should.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two yearsand the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from thestress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating butnow I would change to one star.

No it is molded into the plastic. You can replace one half or get the key re-cut.

No, I may have been lucky, but for me the pulley came off and went back on without a problem. I think that the most important thing is to keep up with parts and where they go back on. I found a helpful parts diagram online. I wish I had taken some digital pictures during disassembly, but did okay and have used it without a problem since last mid-summer.

Possibly. Haven't tried myself. I can tell you, that after replacing several pulleys with this tool, I have realised that replacing the alternator is the best fix, as the replacement pulleys never last long.

Sure - but you have to know where the weak link is. In some cases the magnet to metal connection may be stronger than the glued connection so when you try to pull things apart the glue connection will "fail", i.e. separate, instead of the magnet separating from the metal.

My old hose was the metal one, too, and this was a perfect replacement. The new clip did not securely hold and came apart once after a few weeks. The second time I installed the hose and clip I wrapped the connection with plastic electrician's tape and it has held for a year without coming apart. Dave

Hi, i am not sure. i purchased this on amazon...i would think since its just a plastic piece they probably don't offer a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes you can but it is a little tricky due to the whole thing being plastic. Alignment is the key or the magnets will not hold it in the retracted position. You will have to be careful and use small screws and placement is critical. It isn't designed for it.

Sorry, don't know. Changing out the pump is very easy it just pulls apart. Fits together with a little gentle force.The actual plastic pump is not designed to be disassembled. Interchanging -- at least for my model simply pulls out of the metal head and the new pump presses in place. Done. Hope this helps.

I believe so, the only metal is the nuts, bolts, washers, and chain. Wouldn't be hard to switch out if not. I didn't pay much attention to that part since I'm not at the coast and the swing is under our porch.
