help im in the middle of doing some bottom end work on my car but i dont have the tool to get the crank pulley off. i was wondering what other solutions or tools i could use if anyone has done this before?

 

take the 4 bolts out, use some rust penitrate on it and tap each side with a hammer(be careful not to break it) and it should come loose.

 

thanks for your help but i got that one off i need the timing belt crank pulley off thecog pulley.

 

maybe if you put it in gear and let the tires touch itll keep the crank from spinning while you turn the bolt. is the motor out of the car?.

 

motor is out and on the engine stand

 

I tried that and the motor still turned against the clutch (act). We even took a long extension out past the wheel well and broke the extension. The only way I could get it off was with a pneumatic impact gun, a big one, and it still took a little bit, but it finally came. There's also a tool to hold crank in place.

 

This'll be tough. My 250 ft-lb impact wrench didn't break mine loose. I had to jump on a 3 foot breaker bar.

 

Damn^^^

 

^^^^ Word.

This guy (original poster) is reliving my build thread. Read this. There's more fun to come at this rate...

I have a really good impact gun. The crank bolt laughed at it. I used a bar I custom built for the flywheel, and a pipe on a breaker bar. See below.

 

I'm sure you can rent a pulley kit from advanced auto parts or someplace like it. And to keep the crank from turning, just have someone hold it with a flathead against the bar of the engine stand. Assuming I'm understanding your problem right...

 

i have all the bolts out of the pulley. when i looked it up on the net how to get it off there is a tool that is use for it. but i dont have that tool...... ill take pics of where im at so there is no confusion

 

All I have ever doen is put the bolts in the crank damper pulley with about 1/4 in of slack and use the factory crank damper to hold onto and use it like a small slide hammer and just pull it out and let it pull the crank gear off. You do need the main crank bolt out to do this though.

 

thanks you for your help i have the main bolt out and ill try to do it with my slide hammer
