    Tear Down Problem

    I'm having a problem getting my crank pulley off. I've gone through 2 pulley pullers, looking for any ideas or something that might work.

    Go to O'reileys or Vatozone & rent a 5 or 7 ton 3-jaw puller.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    If you're breaking pullers you're doing it wrong. You should be pushing only on the bottom of the hole. If you're pushing on the flange with a flat pusher bigger than about 7/16" then your just pushing on the pulley.

    The best puller I have came from Sears. Its $70.00, but well worth it.
    It has a spin ring that will clamp the jaws down so you dont have to hold them.

    I bought a cheap puller from oreliley's and it worked great. If you pull on the little flanges on the inside of the pulley, the pulley will hold the jaws from popping off. I left the bolt in but only threaded in a few turns to press against. The puller I used is a little larger than the one in the picture. I think it is a Chrysler 3 jaw puller.
