    I’m trying to use a puller but it’s on there real tight. I remember last time I did timing belts I had to press this sucker on… dang it I probably jammed it against woodruff. Need advice/encouragement

    I wonder if the crank sprocket has a "sided-ness" where one side needs to face the engine? Might explain why you had to press it on last time.

    There's a display glitch in the file uploader where, after you browse for the file on your computer, the "Upload File(s)" button just below that doesn't look like a button until you hover your mouse cursor over it.

    Sorry to hear about your neighbors, ugh. I'd be calling the cops/CPS if that's a recurring thing.

    Thanks SubGothius, I don't believe the sprocket has a sidedness like you're talking about... but I thought about it and my first puller didn't have a small enough center shaft to go down the crankshaft bolt hole. I was pulling the thing against the thing lol. duhhhhh. Typical Friday vibes. Took time off to think it through and gonna set up with some other type of puller. Meanwhile, these crankshaft pulleys aren't made anymore, aren't common... uhh whoops. Dangit. There's a mightymax at a local junkyard but 3.0 4x4 I believe...

    Got the sprocket off! Life is good. Found a pulley at car-part.com where they search junkyards. Pretty cool
