How to remove a V8 crank pulley

Recommended Posts

Engine on stand and crank bolt removed and replaced without the washer.

Socket and short bar on the bolt to take the drive from the puller.

Carefully fit the puller legs to lip around the pulley and take up the tension.

Reach behind you for the spanner to go on the puller.

Loose your balance and grab the puller to regain your balance.

Continue to fall backwards onto the garage floor closely followed by the puller and the crank pulley that was never tight and never needed a puller.

Glad nobody was watching.

Hehehe.

I'll never forget undoing a flywheel nut on an outboard. It was still attached to the RIB and in the water with the engine all the way down. I was stood at the back of the boat, with the engine to my right so I could heave on the breaker bar by pulling towards me. It let go with a bang, shortly followed by me going arse first over the back of the boat.

Again, glad no one was watching...
