4jg2 crank pulley won't come off!!!

When all else fails call the cavalry. Is there an engine reconditioner near you? They have a few tricks we dont. Not happy you heated the bolt though. It may have softened it making it more likely to break

[jackapoo]

Yeah heating it was my last resort. I had no other options. Now might just take it in to someone to see if they can get it.

[geeves]

Couls always just replace the crank

[jackapoo]

I would prefer not to replace the crank but if the bolt snaps then I'm f'd

is the pulley loose on the shaft. i had one that hammered the shaft onto the thread. broke the head off the bolt, new crank followed.

Do you still have the fly wheel on the motor try and lock it up and then put a socket and big breaker bar and pipe on it anticlockwise to undo it.
Just out of curiosity why do you need the harmonic balancer off are you rebuilding the engine.

Just wondering if you got the bolt out....I recently took mine out for a rebuild...it was in there good! But mt battery powered impact overcame in about 20 seconds....

yeah wondering how he went with it never got back to let us know ????
