OK, stupid question.
How to remove the crank pulley? Is there a flywheel lock somewhere?
When reinstalling, what should the torque be?
thanks

Jim L. did mine with a short, high-torque impact air wrench. My cheapie didn't even budge it.

Don't eve n think about using a piece of pipe in the pulley holes or you will be buying a new pulley (don't ask me how I know! :oops: ).

Hmmm... the pipe routine did enter my mind. Guess I'll cross that one off my list. Have an impact wrench, but too big to fit.

nothing that a trip to Harbor Freight can't fix!
