I weigh 300lb and bench 340lb and the thing wouldn't move. I guess my muscles aren't as strong as Big Brad's.

A breaker bar is your worst enemy on that particular piece. You're fighting against lock-tight and also attempting to not rotate the engine backwards while you loosen the bolt. An impact wrench or impact driver if you don't have air tools, is the only realy way to go. The popping action of those tools is what breaks the loctite barrier easily. Brute force will eventually prevail, but you're risking yourself (I had a chater bar pop loose and ding me in the forehead leaving me to see stars) and your bearing surfaces by possibly rotating it backwards.

Tried that also...impact pushing 120 ft/pds...held it on there for minutes...then let the air reload, tried again. Even tried spurting it to get it to work...nothing. I'd suggest to anyone to cut the pully off, try an impact, then try a breakerbar w/ pipe, and lastly cut the damn thing off.

A 120lb/ft impact gun sounds quite weak. My 1/2" I/R is 475. (well originally anyway  ) Even my butterfly is 150.
The simplest way is to cut off the pulley at the hex. Then impact it off. Even a sharp blow (dead blow or 4x4 of wood) with a 1/2" breaker bar will pop it with the pulley cut off. (old news  )

I did not have time to mess with it last night. I have an I/R it is supposed to be around 475 ft-lbs. I have time tonight so I will let you know how it comes off.

Apply some heat to it with a torch. As long as you're replacing the front timing seal anyways, it won't really hurt anything.

It's an Ingersoll Rand that I've had for too many years to mention. (from back when I turned wrenches professionally) I've even rebuilt it once due to use.

I got it.  Well my impact is not strong enough. I cut the end off right in front of the hex. Secured the flex plate on the other end. Then used a Flexbar with a 4 foot pipe extension. It popped right off. Then I was irritated by a second bolt under that one. That one is right hand thread and much easier to remove. Thanks for everyones help.  Paul
