I have a '98 240sx (ka24de) and the car has been spitting oil on everything from the alternator, fans, pulleys, etc. Looked like a symptom of the front main seal, so I went to replace the seal. Popped crank pulley bolt w/ no problem. The only jaw puller I had was relatively short, but I regrettfully chose to use it. The crank pulley wouldn't budge, except for the slight bend on outtermost lip. Does anyone think this will affect the motor internally or should I just buy another crank pulley? OEM is rare to come by and quite steep in price. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Moved to 240sx tech, please post in the right section in the future. Anyway, welcome to NICO!

That wont affect anything internally, but it might cause some weird wear on the belt. Check a local junkyard or something, or PM me with your zip code, I might have a few laying around.
