Crank Pulley Removal, How do i?

[Cyberkreig]

So while i'm doing all this other stuff I decided to cleanup the motor/engine bay and look for odss and ends that needed done.

I noticed that my crank pulley was chipped in two places so i orded a new one. It arrived, i unbolted the pulley bolt and removed all the belts but the thing will not budge. Is this another brute force situation or am i missing something?

Also. While i am here, how hard is a front main to do? Is it worth the time money and effort to replace something that is *probably* ok?

Go to Autozone and rent the pulley puller. Do not pry, you can crack the front cover.

Flatheads or crowbars can do the job too. Just dont get too rough with the pulley. Change the front main seal, its an $8 part that is about a 2 out of 10 difficulty to change.

Like has already been said, go rent a pulley puller from autozone. Its a claw that hooks the sides of the pulley, and has a long bolt in the middle. Screw your crank pulley bolt into the block, but leave it a little loose. Slip the claw/hook of the puller over the pulley, center the pullers long bolt, and tighten it down. As the pullers's bolt tightens against your stock pulley bolt, it will pop the crank pully right off with usually very little effort.
