im trying to get the crank pulley off with a three prong puller with no luck whats the best placement of the puller on the pulley? already broke the outside lip and no luck getting it to stay seated on the pulley. thanks.

 

It's been a while,but I used a 3 prong puller and adjusted the prongs to go inside the pulley.I hope you aren't going to reuse the pulley with a broken lip.

 

no got some asp pulleys, i tried the inside of the pulley too, guess if it worked for you i just need to keep working at it. thanks

 

I've seen it done usually on the inside rung of the pulley

 

Mine had 3 flat spots on the inside of the pulley just for the puller. get a light behind the pulley when installing.

 

 

On top of the placement of the puller on the inside slots made for the puller, put a socket on the center threaded peice of the puller to get a better hold. I used a can of the computer cleaner compressed air in a can $hit. I turned the can upside down so the liquid would come out rather than the air. if you freeze the crank pretty good it comes off easier. I know that it sounds a bit whacky but i think it will shrink the crank a thousanth or two which can make it a bit easier. it took me and a few friends 45 minutes to get the bitch off and most of it was trying to figure out how to place it. if i were you i would start looking for a new pulley because it is your damper which does balance your motor. if you are missing pieces you might throw off the balance. just a thought.

 

Thats a good idea with the freezing. A friend of mine showed me a similar trick for putting the pulley back on... Use a torch on the pulley center for about 2 minutes and it'll slip right into place. No pushing, no banging, no problems

 

Coming off is easy. on the heating it up with a propane torch to install. Just put a little grease on the snout to help out.

 

Use the Chrysler model 3 jaw harmonic balancer puller on the INSIDE tabs ( closest to the crank snout ). Works perfectly on the stock pulley.
