Crank Pulley Removal . . . again

If you remove it with your air tool, you will still need to block the flywheel in order to apply 195ft/lbs to the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt.

Hmmm, you're right of course. Hadn't thought that far ahead. Back to removing the starter. Gettin that one back bolt out is a nightmare.

Thanks

Err i just got a 3/4 socket, a power bar, put the car into 5th pulled handbrake on hard, applied brakes hard and heaved away. (someone else was in the car obviously)

Popped off like a cork.

also, with the rattle gun you wouldn't need to block the flywheel as they don't provide constant load rather a jolting action (think twisting left and right constantly) to crack nuts off.

NOTE: have a ceramic clutch so maybe a normal one would slip, but i doubt it.

getting the pulley off can be done , getting the pulley back on and tight better be done right or you'll wreck the key on the crank shaft over time with little warning . rut roh

Has anyone ever made up their own SST to hold the crank pulley while breaking the nut? Seems like you could make up a steel disk, drill 2 holes to match the threaded holes in the pulley, and a larger hole in the center to pass thru the 17mm? socket to the crank nut, then weld a short stub of 2"? pipe to it, after milling a couple flats on the end of the stub. I've got a big old 2 inch combination wrench to hold the flats while passing a deep socket on a breaker bar thru to the pulley bolt. Probably wouldn't take more time to make it than getting that ^%#@* starter off and then back on.

Just wondering . . .

I think we need something like this Paul; a member on the UK Supra forum made this. I'm hoping to measure up my pulley this weekend to get a few dimensions to start fabricating one. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have some accurate dimensions, especially the 8mm threaded hole pitches.
