Removing crankshaft pulley?
Hi guys:
What is the best method for removing a crankshaft pulley after removing the crankshaft bolt? I've read in the Haynes manual to use a brass hammer, but this seems like it might cause a vibration, possibly f'ing up the bearings.... Any help would be appreciated! Chris |

You're making me wonder . . . Where _else_ did the former owner use Permanent LockTite ? ? ? 'Curly' ----------------------- |

I believe tapping it out with a small hammer got me by the first time, and I just coated the shaft with antisieze gel. The second timing belt job was a snap, as the pulley came right off. I am just wondering how it is *supposed* to be removed! Thanks very much for the response! |

When you do whack that pulley free, make sure the bolt is loosely in place, to prevent dropping the pulley on your floor (or wrist), Ouch !! Stay safe! 'Curly' ------------------------- |

Spray it with a bit of your favorite flavor of penetrating oil, e.g., wd-40 or whatever, and lit it sit for a little while. Then try gently prying it off working a large prybar, such as http://tinyurl.com/ts7i, between the pulley and lower timing cover. Alternate your use of the prybar from one side of the pulley to the other and the pulley should come off without too much difficulty. If you're careful, you can be successful with this method without damaging the lower cover. Eric |
