I got the bolt out finally.....but the other 1.5" of it is still in the f'ing crank, I think you can guess what happened (snap!)
I ended up not using the impact, but a 2 foot breaker bar and a prybar in the ring gear teeth.
But wait there's more!!!
I got the pulley off and it wasn't the rubber gone bad, but the splines were, allowing it to flop around on the crank snout, and the pulley is REAL ate up, no more splines, rounded out to the TOP OF THE KEYWAY! Not only that, but the crank snout is missing a nice size chunk of material.
The engine was running fine, but now I can't replace the crank pulley.....
I'm still unsure as to whether I'm gonna do a rebuild with a new crank or just get a used motor seeing as how i'm kinda broke right now....
Although this will give a good excuse to start my "project"
The only thing is I'll be driving a land yacht Lincoln Town Car till then.
I will post pics later this afternoon
