Pulley removal tips?

[PrimeMvr]

The bolt on my 3.0 crank pulley will not budge! I've soaked with PB, tried a two foot cheater bar, cranked my impact gun to 11. No go.

Anyone have a good trick? Thanks, Steve

Try a longer cheater bar. I tried my 650 ft lb impact to no avail. The long cheater bar worked great though.

I took the crank to the tire shop and tip the guy a couple bucks. One hit and its off. I dont have the volume needed through a 3/8 hose but the shop does.

It took my wife HANGING on a 4' steel pole slipped over the breaker bar and me standing on the engine stand to keep it from toppling over. Unreal, but it's off! Thanks guys.

What I should have said is, you can still split the case with the pulley on the crank. Thats the way I get the crank to the tire shop, not the engine.

Impact should work. I do not even remember if i cranked compressor to 120psi for pulley. Removing rear shock bolts on 964 been much harder.

The crank pulley bolt that gives most people trouble is the type that has a flanged head on it. Underneath the flange its serrated and grips really good (obviously). The name that Porsche calls it in the tech specs is Durlok.
