How to take crank pulley off if motor is seized

[SVTED]

I'm stripping my old motor down and I'm stuck at the crank pulley. I've been reading stuff about having to align the notch and what not, but my motor is seized. The pulley ain't moving. So any suggestions?

Hummm never heard of that...it has a keyway I would think?? Just unbolt it and pull it of..so I think, thats how most cars Ive worked on are.

The fact that your motor is seized has nothing to do with your crank pulley coming off.

Well i thought it had to be lined up with the notches :shrug:

So how the hell do I get it off? I undid the bolt and it ain't going anywhere...

Go get a crank pulley removal tool or if that motor is junk use 3 10mm bolts from the timing cover and screw them into the holes on the crank. Keep wrenching them in evenlt until you see the pulley come off.

I'd use a penetrating oil and a puller. Being from the great white north and you liberal use of road deicers should have rusted that bugger right on.

Three jaw puller?

no bueno, since there is a rubber isolator between the hub and the pulley.

Your right. I forgot about that for a second.

Goto Autozone and rent a harmonc balancer puller. It will take you 5 min tops to remove the pulley.
