a pulley puller, i never seen this tool before,

is it for actually removing the bolt or, removing the pulley after the bolt is removed?

[IH8TEC]

removing the pulley, it uses the two threaded holes on the pulley, picture rectngle bar and in the centre is a long threaded portion (pushes against where the bolt went) then connect a long bolt through the rectangle bar and into each hole on the pulley,

then turn the centre bolt and it pushes against the crack and pulls the pulley

hope thats too bad of a description

[bluemaumau]

so it gives you something to leaver against? basically

[IH8TEC]

yes, but you wont damage anything like the pulley edges or such, especially where the timing mark is cause thats a right biatch from using screwdriver or such.

oh and it pulls it off squarly

[bluemaumau]

hmm sounds good, you know were to get them and how much? etc

[kingcorolla]

wiggle wiggle, tap tap, pry pry, wiggle wiggle, tap tap tap, wiggle wiggle Tap Tap Tap

perserverance and a little impact is the key

if that fails get rough and hit it harder, or buy a puller

[IH8TEC]

should be able to get them from repco, bnt or supercheap somewhere like that, i've just borrowed them from work in the past, so not sure on price

[bluemaumau]

cheers ih8tec.

ive tried taping or at the end bashing.

nothing. pulley puller may be the way.

[slighty_sykotic]

$20 from super cheap.

Called "harmonic balencer puller".

Its shiney goldish colour

do not tap, hit or pry it off, it will render it useless. use the correct puller.

[crispy'86]

spray the crank with some "rost off" rust penetrant or crc, something that will enable any form of surface rust penetrantation and slide it on and off (back and forward) with the pulley puller .
Should be of some help as i've done this to all my engines

[Crucible]

Yeah prying on the outside can damage the dampner like Simon suggests! Pullers locate on the inner part of the balancer so no damage is done.

[bluemaumau]

thats for removing the pulley AFTER the bolt is removed, will investigate the harmonic thing tomorrow.

my 4age manual uses a "v" shaped tool, anyone seen, used, know were to get these???

So you havent got the bolt off?? You honestley need a Rattle gun aye, The only other option apart from that is using Large polly grips to lock the crank and stop it turning by wedging them against the ground etc and using a long breakdown bar, make sure you use 6 point not 12 point sockets so you dont strip the bolt, do that and your in a whole lot of trouble

[bluemaumau]

thats my question(should have worded it better),

HOW DO I REMOVE THE BOLT?
