Crankshaft pulley – removal and installation
Removal
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the remote ground terminal (see Engine electrical systems).
2. Remove the drivebelt (see Tune-up and routine maintenance).
3. The crankshaft pulley bolt is incredibly tight; using a breaker bar, socket and special tool #10198 or equivalent (see illustration), hold the pulley from turning while loosening the bolt.
6.3 Using a special holding tool to prevent the crankshaft from turning, loosen, then remove the bolt
4. Pull the crankshaft pulley off the crankshaft.
Installation
5. Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the seal contact surface of the pulley hub (if it isn’t lubricated, the seal lip could be damaged and oil leakage would result).
6. Install the crankshaft pulley, aligning the keyway on the crankshaft with the slot in the pulley hub. Install the bolt and tighten it by hand.
7. Prevent the engine from rotating (see Step 3) then tighten the bolt to the torque listed in this Chapter’s Specifications.
8. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
