Resolved 4g63 crank pulley removal

[overboosted1g]

I have a 1992 eagle talon tsi with 6 bolt 4g63 in it and I removed the 4 bolts on the crank pulley but it won't come off. Is their a special way to remove it?

the middle bolt, you need a monster impact gun.

YOu do not need to remove the crank pulley bolt to remove the crank pulley. You'll need to muscle it off, you can carefully pry it off, whack it with a non-metal hammer etc...Sometimes they get a little stuck on there. Be careful if you decide to pry, this is the main reason why good 6 bolt lower timing covers are so hard to come by.

if you have the car secured with jackstands and such, kick on the left and right side a few times and it'll come lose after a few kicks, you must be laying on the ground kicking like a 2 year old. works for me.

Ok thanks for the info I'm gonna try prying and hammering today when I get home I'll keep everyone updated.

Well i got the pulley off with a pry bar and a rubber mallet but now i gotta try to find a lower timing cover because mine was in worse shape then i thought.
