Crankshaft removal tool - Anybody got one to sell? oohnoo???

[ProwlerGT]

I need a crankshaft pulley removal tool or a method that would work to get the crank pulley off without cranking the engine.

Anyone got one to sell? oohnoo still around? Is he at the 3SNG?

I would be willing to pay to rent the tool from someone too. Please msg me on this thread and we can figure it out.

You don't have an impact gun? You should be able to get it off by putting the car in gear and holding the brakes.

I have tried the impact gun... an air powered one and an electric one and I've soaked it in AeroKroil for about an hour yesterday. Still wouldn't come off. I think its the OEM crank pulley and been on there since the engine was made. ~~ I haven't tried it today though after an overnight soak.

Your procedure - I know this is gonna sound stupid to some, but are you meaning for me to put the car in gear and hold the brakes while the engine is "OFF" ??? FYI too, mine is an AUTO.

I have one I made a few years ago. It works good. Where are you located at? I'm heading to the NG tomorrow.

Ah, that trick won't work with an automatic, nevermind. Good luck, keep trying the impact gun. For what it's worth I got it off the first time using the starter, but every other time the impact gun zipped it right off.

if you cannot borrow one just get two 7/16 bolts and put them in the crank pulley and hold the crank with a length of pipe or a pry bar. get the bolts long enough

Why can't you turn the motor over?

I'm near Shreveport, LA. Definitely not on the way to NG. I am entertaining the idea of a chain wrench though.

What is all this stuff I read about bending valves etc... when taking off the crank pulley or is that when you remove the timing belt? I was worried about turning the crank as I try to get the crank pulley off, worried about throwing off timing or something else.... all my other stuff is still connected (timing belt/cams) .... its just the 2 belts that are coming off the crank pulley. Is there any chance in my situation I could ruin timing or something else I don't know about just by barely turning the crank shaft?

I could, but I don't exactly understand how this would help. Where do I stick the breaker bar and where is it supposed to contact the frame to get the crankshaft pulley bolt loose? It just sounds dangerous. And with both accessory drive belts disconnected (timing belt intact and connected to cams) nothing else could get messed up huh??

Would I just briefly flick the key to IGNITION ON and then OFF, like half a second trying to crank it?

If the timing belt is still on and in time your not going to bend any valves by turnIng it. I've taken several of them off but I always had the tool I made. Never used the wrench on the subframe method.
