Crank pulley pin question

I just purchased the aluminum split crankshaft pulley that has the Allen screw to tighten it on the shaft. I decided to reuse my old pin with the cotter hole in it instead of the roll pin that came with the pulley. However, once I hammered the pin in place with a punch, the cotter pin hole doesn't c...

Re: Early crank pulley removal help

Thanks Norm, I'll probably order the aluminum one without the edges since I had difficulty getting the old one off. Also, my old one has a large chunk missing on the inner hole so not usable.

Re: Early crank pulley removal help

Well I discovered the reason why I couldn't get the pulley off very easily: the left side of the engine pan nose was slightly bent in so the pulley kept stopping on the one rivet. So I had to grind the obstacle down enough to force the pulley off. It is 3" in diameter, but I'm not sure if it's an ea...

Early crank pulley removal help

I'm trying to remove the busted crank pulley on my 1910 T, but I can't seem to get it far enough to remove it from the engine because the narrow engine snout won't allow it. There's got to be another way to get this off other than removing the pan. Any tips would be appreciated!
