Kranz Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yes, DON'T heat it up... or you'll be looking at the two piece damper seperating into two pieces soon after!!! There is a puller someone made IIRC??? Anyone know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 what are you currently using? you need a good long lever, say a 4ft scaffold pole over a breaker bar......... He's already got the bolt out I think... Its a puller he's after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Use a gear puller - you may need to remove the radiator to give you plenty of room first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a puller he's after. doh! ah yeah............ ok in that case, you can use a gear puller but also you can utilise the crank locking tool......... you need to undo the crank nut so it sits proud of the pulleys front surface (just enough to get a spanner in - 5mm or so) then using a sheet of metal or anything strong put this inbetween the nut and the still attached crank locking tool (basically filling the whole the tool leaves to get a socket onto the nut - you'll need to back out the bolts holding it to the pulley) Then undo the crank nut with a spanner from above, this forces the nut back onto the plate, that in turn forces the crank tool backwards, which as its attached to the pulley pulls this off the crank........... does that make sense?
