Crank Pulley Question....

[tbirdsc357]

Do I need a puller to get the crank pulley off. I removed the 4 bolts that holds the pulley ......but it wont come off???

Also, since I will have the crank pulley off, should I replace anything at the same time? Bolts???

Steve they tend to get a rust ring around the shaft that sticks through the opening of the crank pulley...you should be able to tap it off.
While your down there it;s agood time to pick up and new crank bolt from Ford, use a 99 V6 Stang bolt because the T-Bird ones are no longer available.

Thanks Les. The shaft had a little rust on it, i'll give it a few taps with a rubber mallet.
