crankshaft removal

[Mischief7m]

im just about done pulling my crank shaft, but im having a few problems. first, i cant get the final bolt out of the flywheel, but thatll be solved when my friend shows up with his impact wrench. but the thing i cant figure out is how to get the crank pulley off. i have the bolt out of it, but i cant seperate it from the crank. anybody have any tips?
thanks

Pull harder.

thats gonna be difficult. ive already gone after it with a prybar and rather large hammer....its on there good enough to have cracked part of the pulley right off. luckily i dont care about it. because im much of it is about to go to scrap metal.

There is also a pulley remover tool... it can be seen in this thread:

Just scroll through the writeup and you will see it.

hmm well i have nothing resembling that tool haha. but i guess that all i was checking was that all i have to do is take out the bolt. then it should just pop off. theres no secret pins or anything holding it on. i guess ill just go pound on it some more.
thanks

I removed it on my supra with a harmonic balancer puller loaned from Autozone.

It should pull right off. Try tilting the H/B up and down. But be careful not to break anything off that balancer, it is weighted.

heading to autozone today to get the tool to pull it... thanks for the advice guys

The balancer is PRESSED ON when you tighten the bolt (hence the very high torque spec for the bolt)

Use a puller like you're supposed to so you don't break stuff.

I ALWAYS use an impact to remove the flywheel bolts as I use red loctite to make sure they don't come out.
