Crankshaft pulley removal

**Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2006 7:25 pm

Ok here we go -

How the hell can you get the cranklshaft pulley nut off without the use of a special removal tool ?? Does anyone have any tips ?

I know you are supposed to use a tool to get the pulley itself off, and you can buy a universal tool for the pulley nut... but its about £70

Any help much appreciated as my car is sat up on axle stands awaiting the wisdom of Club323F

Cheers

I made a special tool, i'll try and get my dad to e-mail me pictures of it.

It was a long piece of strong metal, big hole in the middle, with 4 small holes around it, then just bolt it on and pull as hard as you can!
