Hyundai Repair: Crankshaft Pulley, crankshaft pulley, pulley bolt


Question
Could you please tell me how to remove the Crankshaft Pulley on my 1997 Hyundai Elantra Wagon? When the AC is turned on the pulley tends to slip and I believe the the Crankshaft Pulley (Harmonic Balancer) is probably damaged and need to be replaced.

Thanks in advance

Answer
After removing the belts, remove the center crankshaft pulley bolt and slide the pulley off.  If you don't have an impact gun for the purpose of removing the bolt, you'll need to use a screwdriver or similar tool in the flywheel teeth to keep the engine from turning.
