In this video, I demonstrate the steps required to remove the crankshaft pulley. This is required to be able to remove the lower timing belt cover so that the timing belt can be replaced.

how much pressure did it take. my pulley will not break loose?
Great Video only way to do it thank you so much
Why can't Isuzu attach all pulleys this way? I'm trying to remove the pulley from a 6 cylinder Isuzu truck engine, I tried pulling it and nothing, even heated it and still wouldn't come off. I finally found the problem, there is a tappered bush in the center and the more I pull, the tighter it's getting on the bush. Now I need to find a way to pull the bush out first (Isuzu have a tool, I don't), all I have to pull on is a few rusty threads around the outside of the bush, and it's large diameter….there is no way I'll find a nut that big. I may yet weld a plate to it and pull on the plate.
Top job Matt, following your technique next week……………nice style you have
Great video. I have the same issue. I hate how they designed these. But I've seen worse, just closed a shop after 68 years. Just a helpful hint. Next time screw the bolt part way in. Then use the puller. It will protect any threads, and acts like a safety thing.
God dang it, thank you for this video! Followed from your thread: http://www.planetisuzoo.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=84587
Now, how do you put it back?
Hey Matt:I have a 1998 Rodeo (3.2 L engine, manual transmission) and have been greatly helped by all of your videos while performing maintenance on this vehicle. This and your other video about manufacturing the tool to remove the crankshaft pulley will be especially helpful as I am getting ready to change the timing belt.Also, do you have (or know of) any videos about changing the clutch in this vehicle?Thanks again, and keep making these great videos!!
Would love to see more about the Rodeo. I have myself an 01' LS V6. 2wd. Rodeo and the few videos you have were great reference for repairs.
