removing xpag pulley to remove timing chain cover

[Gene Wescott]

I need to replace the front crankshaft seals and would like to avoid

having to remove the oil pan. From doing it the last time, the pulley

is very hard to pull, and I had to knock it loose from inside the

engine with the pan off. Is there a way to get it loose without

breaking it or the timing chain cover?

Thanks,

Gene Wescott

Gene It must be out of the car, but you can use a gear puller, if you are concerned that you might damage the pulley,. put a bearing puller behind the pulley, there should be room. If you do not have one you might be able to rent one from your local auto parts store. Dean Illinois
