Hi,
I'm getting close to the point where I will need to remove the pulley from
the front end of the crankshaft on my SD1 engine. The manual says to remove
the bolt and withdraw the pully, but it looks like it might be a real bear
just to get the bolt out let alone withdraw the pulley assembly.
I'd appreciate any helpful hints, tricks or suggestions on this one.
Right now, the engine is sitting on a pallet still attached to the front
subframe with all of the ancillaries removed from the front of the engine.
The engine is very stable and I have lots of clearance. Sump is still in
place and the flex plate is off in the back, so limiting the rotation of the
crankshaft may be a problem although I can clamp a belt onto the pulley and
attach it somewhere.
Any suggestions?
Glen
