front crank pulley on 03 cobra

how does this SOB come off? its got an allen head dead center in the front but if that it im gonna have to find that big bastard

I have a few of the sockets for a 1/2" drive. It is REVERSE rotation. Again. REVERSE.

I would not use jack stands but wheel ramps/blocks instead if you don't have a lift. it would suck to pull the fucking car down on top of you as tight as that center is. Some take the nuts of ten people, others take one nut. Just all depends.

Undo the cradle nuts/bolts then do the dampner pulley next.

so it is that allen head inset?

its actually on a stand and all apart except that. something tells me a few pieces will be going back on for this

Yes, it is like a SHORT 5/8" allen head for a 1/2" drive. Oh, I gotcha, the engine is on a stand.

If you need the socket, I should have a few that I could let you borrow one.

Well if you can't find one just ask. They came free with the pulley kits from Johnny Lightning years ago when I worked at a speed shop. I must have 3-4 of them.

Once you find the right size, take a 3lbs sledge hammer and hit the ratchet with it real good, should only take one swing.

It works, I swear, as long as you use a 1/2" drive ratchet.

Yea those can be a pain sometimes. It was harder for me to put it back on since I cross threaded it but filed the first groves down an got it to work.
