Default Re: Pulley Issue?

I live in Greenfield, but work on the upper west side of Indy near the pyramids.

All.. for future tech reference the best way I found to get the pulley off:

1) Open the tranney access panel, its a plactic access panel that it vertical to grount facing front of car. Unplug any sensor or move all wiring out of way.

2.) under car, turn crank until you see a bolt head in flywheel area. Use a deep socket and socket wrench to take it off (I used a 1/2 cuz I couldn't find my 13mm deep)

4.) Take the bolt to your bolt box (if you've done enough car work, you have one of these... or go to HW store) to find an about 4 inch bolt with same size thread. My bolt box had a perfect bolt. screw bolt into flywheel hole about and inch

5.) I stayed under car and turned crank (using a breaker bar hanging down so I could reach it from there) until it hit side of acces panel opening (just to be sure nothing was in way and would get crushed.)

6.) using a breaker bar and a 4' heavy metal pipe (mine even has some concrete at the top of hadle for more weight..made just for job like this) crank on it until it comes free.

Need to pull my seal out next...was thinkg it would just come right out, not so. It was getting late, so I didn't mees with it much yet.
