Josh42 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi, I've tried searching and even checked my TSRM, can't find any guidance on how to correctly remove it. Can some offer some advice/point me in the right direction please? I'm attempting to remove the water pump and I believe I've got to firstly remove the crank pulley/lower timing belt cover.....

Swampy442 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You need to lock the crank pulley using a tool, then remove the bolt in the centre. Once thats out just use a puller and remove it. Toyota do have a tool specifically for that job but its over 100 quid, a lot of people make their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) plenty of wd40 and my pulley came out You don't need to use wd40, i don't see how that helps in the slightest, just the proper puller and they come off with no issues. Are you replacing the pulley Josh ? Edited December 30, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I never knew so much needed removing to swap the water pump. Wouldnt it be logical to do the oil pump at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) To change the oil pump you either have to drop the subframe or take the engine out the bay so shed loads more work than doing the w/p. You don't have to take that much off to do the w/p really if you know what your doing and have the correct tools Edited December 30, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I did mine a cowboy way, by putting a breaker bar on it on the floor, and cranking the engine, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly what you are doing, and have no other choice.

Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Can you not use an impact gun? you have to take the rad out then etc much better to just make a tool to hold the pulley then use a breaker bar with some tube on it to extend the leverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Can you not use an impact gun? As Dr Dnk says, there isn't enough space to get one in, without removing the rad first. I only did it that way because it was stuck in a carpark on another army barracks, and I refused to pay to get it recovered and have it done by a garage, as its a simple thing to do. - - - Updated - - - i didnt pay for a puller mate used wd40 and it came off wouldnt come off without it I used an 18 stone Fijian to get mine off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Or prehaps heat it red hot then just use a spanner. But dont know if theres rubber seals or anything it could destroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just do it properly, the bolt is torqued up to 330 Nm so you will need a breaker bar Heating the end of the crankshaft up till its red hot really is the worst idea you can possibly have, red is around 700 C for steel ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 With a wiggle and a prise bar it comes off easily. You have to be very careful using a pry bar, if you lever too high up the pulley you risk damaging the rubber section and too low you risk damaging the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Some people reckon that's why so many JZ crank pulleys fall apart. It'll screw up the crank seal right behind it that's for sure let alone anything else and change the structure of the crank material, actually softening it which i doubt is a good idea. Also how far up the crank the heat would go doing god knows what to the mains and rod shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Josh, I have a home made tool if you need it. it's very basic and rough, but does the job. The bolt on my old na was so tight even cranking it with a breaker bar wouldn't crack it. I have a picture somewhere I can post and if you have a couple of lengths of angle iron, you could make one yourself easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 So, I reiterate, with the correct tool from Toyota, its a snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
