the darn thing just keeps rotating around...

is it supposed to rotate around?

and i donno how but i got one bolt off it just made a crack sound and it was loose, but the others just keep making the pulley rotate. what gives?

 

Put something in to hold the pulley from rotating. You can stick a screwdriver in the flexplate, or just hold the crankshaft pulley with a bar.

 

i dont have a crankshaft puller

and what is the flexplate?

 

If you can, put the belt back on and the car in gear to keep the balancer from rotating. When I put my underdrive pulley on I wasnt so smart and had someone hold another bolt with a socket than then proceed to loosen the others.

 

ok my gf helped me take off the bolts but i cant manage to get the pulley off maybe im not understanding the 3 toe puller but it dont wanna come off?

 

Here is how you use a puller.

 

thx shoebox but i cant get it on at all... nice tip about the 5/8's to straighten it but i think its all rusted together how do i get the damn thing off ive been working at it for many hours

 

I think youd be beter off going to autozone and renting an actual dampaner puller that way you dont have to dick around with the 3 arms. Hope this helps, Prorac1

 

my car is out of commission... what else can u recomend?

 

Well when mine didnt want to come off I sprayed it down with Rust Eater and banged on it some with a rubber mallet.....then applied the puller. Just at the point where I thought the puller was gonna break the damper finally gave up and came off

 

heh beat u too it my girl told me to use wd40 so i let it sit for a few minutes and i could pull it off w/ my hands

 

Save yourself some time and trouble, buy a gear puller, you will
need to install a long screw in the front of the crank that will slide through the hole but not touching the threads, the reason for this is because the puller shaft will be to large, and buy or borrow an air compressor and air tools, you will be glad you did if you plan on doing your on work.

 

Well, his previous post said he already got it off and he was removing the pulley, not the hub.
