How do i remove the crankshaft pulley!

<< < (3/3)

Yoshi:
Right, tried to do the breaker bar and turning the key thing and it did nothing, just hit against the chassis leg and stayed there and moved no further.

Any other ideas?  Am really needing to get this done asap now!

might need to do it a couple o times,

would advise slipping a length o scaffy over the bar as 1/2 inch bars flex waaaaay to much

Just make sure you do the crank pully up mega mega tight again though. When I purchased my disco nearly 2 years ago it had a recent cam belt change by a well known land rover place in Hampshire. I picked my new toy up, drove to Wales to see my mate. People said the autos arent very good up hills so struggling to 70mph on the motorway I thought this was normal.

Next morning I just had clouds of smoke and no go until I had smoked out Cardiff and the engine was warm it went. I thought wierd. Limped to another mate I was seeing that night and knows abit about engines. It turned out the timing had been knocked out slightly and the key way was worn big time in the crank pulley and the back of the crank pulley had been smashed to pieces.

Luckily I was introduced to a fantastic landy mechanic in Banbury that it went to and £800 later it was mended. this £800 was at a knock down hourly rate due to being introduced by a good friend of the mechanic. Any other garage I think I would have been looking at a bill of about £1700-£2000. Not what I needed 24hours after buying the car.  :twisted:  This nearly ended up with a new crank shaft but chemical metal luckily mended mine.

so caution. Make sure that bolt is done up as tight as it is now! I was told it needs to be done up tighter than the torque of the engine  :shock:

i have known people to put a drill in the flywheel hole in the bell housing but me i just get me air gun out and that does the trick if you were closer i come and give you a hand

there is a proper tool that screws in and locates in a hole on the flywheel ,it goes in the bellhousing drain nut hole ,  i used a  drill bit (shank end) it takes two to do it this way ,one to hold the bit in place until the other feels it lock when turning the pulley...then hold tight because the bottom pulley bolt is  F.T!!
