Pulling the crank bolt -- this is a "French Curl Bar" that I use on the end of a breaker bar that has a 15/16" deep dish socket. Supposedly the bolt is torqued to something like 90 ft/lbs -- it comes off pretty easily though with the weight lifting bar on it. Here are two shots:





Crankshaft Bolt is out -- no thread lock on it, btw.



Three pulley bolts are now easily removed -- no thread lock on them either. I didn't bother loosening the alternator either since the pulley easily comes straight off.



My "two piece" dampner does not pull off, and I'm not going to pry it, whack it, etc. I'll pick up the puller/installer tool this week.



Here's a shot of the pulley -- I can't tell whether the holes have been worked on or not. I'll see when the new dampner comes.



That's as far as I can go today. BTW, thoughts on using thread locker on the crank bolt and/or pulley bolts?
