Crank pulley removal
So I'm trying to get my crank pulley off and so far I've accomplished the following:
1) Wear myself out
2) Bend the hell out of my biggest screwdriver
3) Nearly break my 3/8 rachet.
And still the crank pulley remains firmly attached to the car.
I have been attempting to hold the pulley still with my big screwdriver (jammed into one of the holes, holding against the oilpan flange)
Meanwhile a helper applies force to the crankshaft pulley bolt using my 3/8 rachet and a 2' cheater bar.
Once force is applied, I tap on it with a hammer. (cheap impact driver)
So, does anyone else have any suggestions for me?
I'll probably end up buying a 1/2 breaker bar tomorrow. But I'd really like to avoid having to rent a impact wrench and air compressor.
