Hey
I broke down on the M25 Friday nite.
The crank shaft pulley outer ring come off, took out the radiator cooling fan and after i managed to point the car towards the hard shoulder and drift across from the outside lane, the top blew off the header tank covering my screen in radiator water! Nightmare!
I have stripped it all down and did have a problem loosening the bolt (until i found out about holding a bar in place, removing the coil! and turning the engine over that is!)
Now i just can't get the crank pulley off to save my life!
I can't seem to get at it from undereath and i think i am as far as i am going to get.
To be honest, I am looking for some advice as i am fresh out of ideas. The only thing i can suggest is a crank extracter 9" in diameter.
This is what i intend to use and have contacted a local mobile mechanic who said he was more than confident to get it off within the hour @ £36 per hour.
If anyone has ever experienced this and like me, had to do the work themselves? If so i would be grateful to hear from you and any advice would be appreciated very much!
