Is there a way the admin can incorporate a Google search into this site? If that costs money, forget it.

All this talk about bolts and stock.....none of that is needed. here is the easiest way of pulling the pulley off. remove the bolt competwely, place a socket over the crank snout, make sure it will fit inside the inner pulley housing, use your 3 jaw and take the pulley off.

I spent several hours and bought several 3 arm pullers and could not get the right size, I then said @#$@ it, pulled out an adjustable 2 arm and a large c clamp, I placed the 2 arm puller in the right place then put the c clamp across the 2 arms to keep them pulled togeather, it pulled right off no problem. I will not do it any other way now, the c clamp keeps the arms from sliding off and the chance of damaging the pully goes away.

So i searched and searched, and as you can tell I'm bringing this back to the top.
Heres my problem, one of the ears on the stock crank pulley broke and i can't get this dang thing off. Has anyone ran into this problem? If so what did you do?

GOT IT OFF!!! I used a three jaw 5ton puller from autozone. I reversed the jaws so that it pulls from the inside of the pulley, then I clamped on some c-clamps on each of the jaws. Using the old bolt with the edges grinded off as the point of contact for the puller I started pulling the f-ing thing out! After months of the powerbond sitting in my room its finally on the car!! Just thought i would share my story incase anyone runs into similar problems.
