Hi guys, have a bit of a problem, got an engine dropped of, and trying to disassemble it, but I got stucked at the crank pulley, don't know how to get the nut off. The fly wheel is off already and so I have nothing to hold against when I'm trying to break the nut of. Any good ideas ?? Really would like to have it off tonite or tomorrow

Thanks micael

 

an impact gun

 

****! I had to use a air chisel to get it off lol. Takes a long time but I just started spinning it with that and it eventually came off. The nuts are like $3 anyway.

 

Use a crowbar to hold the pulley in place (Place it in the slots in the middle of the pulley) by a friend and then use a impact gun or breaker bar to loosen the center bolt.

 

Thanks guys, yeah I was thinking something like that, don't have the air setup yet so don't want to have to go and get an impact gun, but I guess I might have too, oh well need it sooner or later anyway

Chain wrench works best, just make sure you use a old accessory belt cut it so it wraps around the whole crank pulley that way you dont damage the pulley.

Here's a example of what you need.
