Hey Hugh, glad to hear that you have gotten that lower pulley installed. Sometime they can be a bear!! I am like you, don't like using too much heat or WILL NOT beat on anything going on the end of a crankshaft. If you think about it, there is only on thrust bearing and everytime ya hit something like that pulley, you are just jamming the crank right back into the thrust bearing and damaging it. Also I have seen crankshafts become fractured from beating a pulley on and then fail"break" down the road. Also I do not like excessive heat on anything!!As you remember I am a big on using some sort of a hydraulic press "an even constant pressure". The picture I posted on installing pulley, I used spare engine friend had, just to demo my method for someone awhile back. There are some hydraulic jacks that will work laying on their side, BUT I use a Porta Power myself. By the way did not see your earlier post as this is Spring break here And the EX let me have my daughter for the week. And also trying to get everything organized for next week, start of Special Olympic track season, being the coach for Powerlifting, I help with track also. Anyway sure glad ya gotter done... Keith & Shawn(Special Olympic Gold medal)
