SupraDave99 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 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!

DannoSupra Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I used a Pulley Remover/Puller but i had one handy from work, spray it with WD40 or Penetrating Fluid first, once the first pull starts it more or less falls off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
