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.

Good impact set on kill with 180 PSI line pressure took my crank bolt off so fast it flew half way across the room. Made a puller attachment out of a 3.4 WP pulley. Piece of cake.
