removing crank pulleys
has anyone ever sucessfully removed a crank pulley from an engine whilst it was still in a beetle?
i've always had to use a puller to remove it when out of the car but i dont wanna drop my engine out just for the sake of removing the pulley
i have twin carbs which have to be removed to drop the engine out which can make a 30min job take several hours
thanks
Joel

I swapped my pulley for a degreed one the other day.
Big spanner and a couple big screw drivers
Took 1/2 hr of prying and slowley off it came
Finally had to take the rear plate off to get a hammer enough swing (side ways) to tap the new one on far enough to get the bolt started.
Used one on them new sporty bolts the is a 3/8 socket drive rather than the 32??mm bolt

i had thought about just prying it off with screwdrivers but was worried about damaging the case
the 2 slots in the standard pulley are for a tiny little puller that the dealerships used
doubt thered be anything like that round these days though

make ur own
i did
4" plate 1.5 wide
big hole oin middle for a 4" long say 19 mm bolt to screw to tward the crank when u have welded the matching nut on outside of plate
2 x 13 mm bolts and nuts throegh them pulley slots u mentioned through two matchin holes in the plate.
these hold the plate onto pulley and as u screw in the middle bolt she comes off slowly.
check the crank not and hole dia so u DO NOT DAmage the crank thread.

Some years ago i broke the pulley on my buggy. We got the pulley off with tyre levers and big screw drivers and wooden scraps to protect the case. The
Baja exhaust was still on while we did it. Getting the new one on was awkward as we couldn't get a good swing at it with a hammer, but it eventually
tightened down OK, with lots of tightening and tapping. We knew it was tight when the pulley rang like a bell as when it was loose it went thud.

i have the same problem as s-deez,
i took my fan belt off and removed the pulley bolt yesterday but nothing was gonna budge my pulley, i used screwdrivers, tyre irons and a giant
wrecking bar which started bending the pulley but it moved like 1mm so i gave up and put it back together,
will try again on the week end.

Got my pulley off tonight...what a SOB....
Had to use a crank pulley tool with two large pry bars. Take the strain with the tool, use the pry bars to wiggle and "slide hammer" either
side...repeat about 15 times. The last 1/4" I was able to wiggle the pulley off. Before that...forget it.

This is how I approached the problem. Of course I had the motor out when I drilled and tapped the holes, but if you prepare your pully before you
install it you could do it.
