Yeah mine makes the stock one look like a wiper blade in terms of ease of coming off lol.

I dunno why its so damn hard to pull off but it is TIGHT on the crank hub, way tight.

 

so would it be a good idea to replace anything while i have it apart?? the car has 117xxx and its a b4c A4. it has an eaton posi rear-end with 373's and a new fuel pump. otherwise its all stock... any ideas on what to do to hit 11's??

 

You haven't told anyone your current mods, if any, so we can't give you any advice.

 

its all stock nothing has been touched besides the new rear-end.

 

Agreeing with ramair. I've pulled the water pump with the radiator in place.

With some wiggling, you might be able to get the damper/pulley off it's hub without a puller.
