Subject:      crank pulley removal
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I have a 1983.5 westy with a 3 groove pulley.  As many of you know, I
am in the process of removing my cylinder heads to resolve a problem
with billowing white smoke from the exhaust.  I've got the passenger
side off.  It looks like I have to remove the crank pulley to get the
water pump off and the driver's cylinder head off.  How do I get this
pulley off?


With a 30mm socket?  How do I prevent the engine from turning when I
turn the socket.


Should I even try?  I can probably remove the metal piece that
connects to the water pump to avoid taking off the water pump.  But
since I'm this deep into the engine, I thought I would take off the
pump too.
