Crank pulley removal?
How did you guys get your crank pulleys off? I can't seem to budge the bolt and I had a 2' 1/2" ratchet plus another 2' pipe on it and I couldn't get it to move!
It is a standard rotation bolt (lefty loosey), no?

It is a standard thread. I use a 30" breaker bar and a home-made tool to hold the pulley in place https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...t=#post4157612. Make sure you have a GOOD puller when you go to take it off.
Wait until you have to put it back on

I'm not turning the motor over, I wedged a screwdriver between the frame and pulley, so that wasn't the problem.
The bot just won't come loose...
I have a stroker crank going in the motor, so I'm not really worried about damaging the crank, I just wanted to finish my mockup of everything with the F-body crank on it.. I guess it doesn't matter much...

i had to lean on mine pretty good, used an old bumper jack for a handle, i was lucky it came loose because i didnt have a metric socket that size and had to ues the closest american one
not to hijack the thread, but does anyone have a part # for a puller that will pull the balancer? i bought a couple 3 jaw, but cant get them to grip inside, just used them outside since i wasnt reusing the pulley anyway

Archimedes said he could move the earth with a lever long enough and a place to stand.
You just need more leverage. Mine came loose with a crack and a puff of powder. I used a 3 foot piece of pipe on an 18" breaker bar.
