1.) First Question I am removing my head to replace a head gasket I have every thing off all the belts and all, I have removed the pullies except the crank pully. I took loose the 4 bolts but the pully wont budge is that square peg in the middle a bolt as well? does it need to be removed, I have tryed just everything but hitting it.

2.) Second Question When replacing the HG I read somwhere you need to trim a mount or something so the head sits level on the block. Is this true? if so what do I need to trim?


Thanks

The pulley should come off by just removing the 4 bolts. You may have to use a puller to get it off if it is stuck. The square bolt in the middle holds the crankshaft sprocket on ( behind the crank pulley - timing belt rides on ).
 
when u say trim a mount you might mean having a shop mill off some of it (as little as possible) in order to make the surface completely flat. thats what i had to do when i had my head rebuilt. also probably would wanna have it pressure tested.
 
As far as the pulley, mine needed a little bit of love from a rubber mallet. It came right off.

Are you Refering to resurfacing the Head? Or is there somthing else that needs to be trimed?

I've only heard of triming the mount when swapping 6bolt motor into a 2g. If your using all the same stuff why would you need to trim it in order to reinstall it?
 
For the pulley, you dont need to remove the center plug, just tap on it a bit with a mallet or pry it off with a flatbar or something like that. :thumb:
