remove crank pulley

[foreverinvayne]

Okay, I've got a problem.. I have to change my timing belt because it jumped timing a bit and i figure i should just change it and get a new tensioner and all that. Well, I got everything off and now im trying to get my crank pulley off.. How do i get it off?
I have the center bolt off and the four bolts holdin it on off and i can just grab it and pull on it and it moves pretty freely. But it just hits the frame before there's enough room to come off. I've tried letting the engine drop down, raise it up, everything, there seems to be no way of doing it other than taking off the other engine mounts and just moving the whole engine over... Is that what im going to have to do? I searched and searched and i found no other thread about this... anyone wanna help me out?

Easy way is....Take off the driver side wheel. Put a block on your jack to even the weight on your jack. Take off the drivers side motor mount. and lower the motor. I have found this the fastest and easiest way, and trust me Ive done it a billion times. Good luck.

The four bolts hold the crank pulley (Harmonic Dampner) to the crank sprocket. The one bolt holds the crank spocket on the crank. How did you get everything else off if the crank pulley and it's four bolts is still on?

The crank pulley doesn't need more than 1/4" to come off. There is a pin in the crank sprocket that fits into the pulley. It's usually stuck when the two doen't easily come apart.
Put the big center bolt back in untill you get the pulley off.
