How to Remove Crank Pulley from a Chevy 350
To remove the crank pulley from a Chevy 350, you can follow these general steps:
1. Prepare the Necessary Tools: You will need a long cheater bar (breaker bar), the right size socket, and potentially a substantial flat-bladed screwdriver if you encounter difficulty with the pulley bolt.
2. Locking the Crankshaft: If the problem is locking the crankshaft to allow the pulley bolt to be removed, you should look under the transmission casing. There should be a slot on the line on the crankshaft and in the area of the flywheel ring gear. A substantial flat-bladed screwdriver can be inserted in the slot and engage with the ring gear to lock the crankshaft, allowing removal of the pulley bolt. Another person may be needed to hold the screwdriver in position.
3. Removing the Pulley Bolt: Use the long cheater bar and the right size socket to remove the pulley bolt. This method can work well to remove stubborn crank bolts without the need for air tools.
4. Disassembling the Pulley: Once the pulley bolt is removed, you can proceed to disassemble the crankshaft pulley and harmonic balancer if necessary.
5. Additional Considerations: Depending on the specific model and any modifications, there may be additional steps or considerations, so it’s always best to consult the specific manual for your Chevy 350 or seek professional assistance if needed.
Remember to take all necessary safety precautions and consult the specific manual for your Chevy 350 for detailed instructions tailored to your vehicle.
