Crankshaft pulley
Any good tricks to removing the crankshaft pulley without destroying something? Mine wont budge and I remember a while back someone else on the forum had same problem. I also noticed that the outside edge in one spot looks like it is chipped..will this hurt anything?

Spray lots of penetrating oil...lot and lots.. i just removed mine to put in a UDP a few months back.. after lots of penetrating oil, I was able to tap it off with a hammer from behind.
urs might be rusted on because of all the salt and stuff they use out there.. if you get a puller, it should come right off..,good luck

Is it the pulley or the belts? Are the belts tensioned tight enough?? If you don't have splash guards in that area road water/ car wash/ hose can get the belts wet and they will squeak when you first turn the car on.

you guys are right not crankshaft pulley instead my alt. mount bolts head rusted off or something so now i gotta use a bolt extractor to get the rest of the bolt out and all the other great crap that goes along with. if you guys have any pointer that would be put into use trust me... and i gotta f'n replace the belt tensioner (which had a bend bolt)that was holding up my alt. for who knows who long but after having the max for close 2 months its amazing that i love it but ne way thanks guys i would be lost without the org
