crank pulley remove help

[93MTXSHO_STUD]

I was looking through some threads about "crank cancer" and I am confused. Could someone explain this? Also I am going to be doing the cam seals and front seal this weekend and wanted to know if the autozone puller is ok? Ive read that some people were using SHO bolts to get the pulley off? I had my friends dad take this pulley off last time so I dont remember exactly how he did it. I do know that we used the harbor freight puller but we needed some special bolts that would fit it. Well I dont have air tools where I am and I dont have the puller set, just hand tools. Could someone explain this "bump" method to get the pulley off or the easiest way to get this guy off without power tools.

I had to get extra long bolts to make my dampner/sprocket puller work, and I had to put some thing bigger over the end of the factory point, it just keep squeezing into the hole.

I can't remember the exact size of the bolts used to pull the balancer off off the crank but the autozone kit I rented, had them in it. To pull the timing pully off you can use the two longest bolts from one of the timing covers. And you use the bump method to loosen the crank bolt.

that bump method is pretty clever! I found a guy that I work with that will let me use his garage for a day!! Thanks for all the help!

Oooo that's not good, it will bugger up the threads on the crank. Did you use a little nut or washer?

ok i got the puller and the 2 seals today. why the crank seal comes with the oil pan gasket and oil pump gasket i dont know, but i got the crank seal. Also do I need a special puller to take the timing gear pulley off?

The same puller works, but you need different bolts to pull the gear. They are smaller and longer, I forget exactly what they are.

From my last post, use the two longest timing cover bolts to remove the timing pulley.
