'48 Cub Project: Need some help on crank pulley
Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2004 6:29 am
Well, the block is stripped, but there are SEVERAL broken off head bolts that have to be extracted. I'm taking my time on that task, so if it takes a weekend or two for each one, so be it.
Anyway, I could NOT get the crank pulley to budge. I used a rosebud torch and had it pretty hot, but it would not move. Maybe I still need more heat. I removed the timing cover, crank, and pulley as one unit. Perhaps it would be best to have it pressed out from this point. It's very pitted from rust, so I might replace it any way, but in case it's salvagable, I 'd like to save it.
I've looked in the parts book, and cannot see anything holing it on, except for a key. Am I right, or is there a bolt down in there that might be holding things up? I searched the archives, but any aditional advice would be appreciated.
