Honda Repair: crank shaft, crank shaft, west coast time


Question
ok, i think I've tried about every thing to take that key out a the crank shaft pulley. do you know if there's a way i might be able to reach it from the back of it?

Answer
Oh, so sorry, I did not know that the crank shaft pulley was not removed yet from the crank shaft itself. Lightly tap the crank shaft pulley from all sides with a hammer or sledge. Shake this back and forth and it should wiggle free. I assume you have removed the 19mm center bolt right? OK if that doesn't work rent a pulley removal tool or steering wheel removal tool. This WILL release the pulley. The key should pop out. If that does not work take a picture and Email it to me at obd1teg4d@yahoo.com I will tell you exactly what to do with a picture sent to me. K? I am west coast time.
