So, I was going to change my timing chain and i pulled the crank pulley off of my 2.2 but behind the pulley, there was this triangle piece that the harmonic balancer puller bolts to(couldnt think of a name for it)...i tried getting it off, and i can NOT get it off to save my life. Anybody have some suggestions, or super-tricks how to get it off? I can't see how it wouldnt come off. It has to come off to get the timing cover off

bump...

I've tried putting a 1/2 drive impact on the puller, and it still didnt budge...should i just get a long breaker bar, and give it hell?

It shouldn't require that much force. Normally a good impact will break it loose.

The one I did came right off with an impact. Try spraying whatever you have for penetrating oil in there overnight?

I suppose next time i get to my friends shop, i will spray some penetrating oil on there, and give it hell...wasnt sure if using an impact could mess up my crank. Thanks.



"If I'm not back in 5 minutes...just wait longer"

I'd do the penetrating oil. Also... have you spun that thing around to check and see if it's got a set screw in there by chance? A surprise set screw will make that awfully hard to pull off there.

I'll check for that too
