You are trying to take the crank pulley off right? is it out of a vehicle?? on an engine stand??

[cr1mnl]

to take mine off i braced to power bar against something solid under the car and cranked the engine to losen it.

Have you tried wedging a power bar on the ground, and flicking the starter motor for a second?

If you need an explaination of what to do just ask.

If you do try it make sure you take the cable of the coil, so the car can't start.

[EDIT]Ooops, took too long to type that [/EDIT]

Yeah, bracing and a quick crank is about the best way if you cant get it moving at all

Then your next mission is getting the pulley itself off

[sopachrga]

If all else fails you can take the end plate off the gearbox bellhouse, and wedge a screw driver in the fly wheel ring gear.

Not the best idea but it can work.

when my engine was out of the car I made up a plate which bolts onto where the flywheel sits and rested it on the engine stand, worked a treat.

To remove mine I do this,

Put the car in gear and get someone to hold their foot on the brake. This stops the engine from turning so you can undo the nut.

I am no a fan of the power bar and starter motor method.
