In the process of removing the OEM lower pulley / cage assembly.
I've done this before, i'm aware that it's reverse threaded and extremely tight in most cases.
I've got the car in 6th gear, and the eBrake is fully engaged.
I've got a 2ft cheater bar, and a 5ft iron pipe with plenty of leverage.
My problem is the crank pulley is actually tuning... The car is not inching forward tho as I have all 4 tires chocked. This leads me to believe my clutch may be slipping slightly? This thing is on there good. I've also tried the trick of putting one of the spokes at 3 o'clock and beating it with a sledge and that works however the crank pulley turns with it. It will NOT come loose.
Question, is there a way to manually lock the motor or crank pulley? without damaging anything obviously? I've even tried putting a torch on it for 10 minutes literally getting it red hot to no avail.
I do have impact tools and a decent compressor but nothing I have is working.
I'm looking at this lower pulley and its just staring back at me.....
I'm stumped.
