Re: Pulley removal

[C2slayman@xxxxxxx]

Robert,
       Popular opinion on the Digest is to remove the water pump studs by 
double-nutting them.  Then you can get the pump off without screwing around with 
the crank pulley.  
       However, you might want to remove the pulley and replace the timing 
chain cover seal if you have an oil leak.  If the pulley is frozen on the crank 
nose, try some penetrating oil and a gear puller or wrapping on the backside 
with a hammer.  Alternately, a propane torch can be used to heat the assembly 
to break the  bond between the pulley anc crank. 

Cheers,
Charlie
