Hey bros and hoes!
Been a while since I posted here - you know, work, bills, work, bills, work, bills, work...
Anywho,
Needing to get the crank pulley off my old 3.8 so I can remove the timing cover. I'm reusing the timing cover on my 4.3 build. The problem I'm having is that the pulley is a very deep bowl shape, and the bolts provided with the "crow's foot" puller aren't long enough to reach the threaded holes. I was trying with a rented puller from Advance.
Anyone know how to get this darned thing off?!
Before you ask, NO, it isn't the 2-piece variety that unbolts from behind the damper. It's not the original engine that came in the car, but the donor was a '99, so it's still the 1-piece design.
REALLY need to get this thing off so I can cart this useless block and a box load of other components to the scrap yard. I'd like to at least recoup the $120 I had to spend at a Pull-A-Part on another block & oil pan.
Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. Anyone else have trouble getting their water pump pulley off? Mine won't BUDGE!
