Trying to get the sprocket off the front of the crankshaft of this
2.5L SOHC non-turbo engine. Engine is still in the car. Pulleys, timing belt covers, oil pan, valve cover, and the center bolt are off. Been trying a harmonic balancer puller with a breaker bar on the center bolt,won't budge. The sprocket is behind something else, looks like the illustrations for the DOHC engine. The manual shows a sprocket with 4 bolt holes for the SOHC;what I am looking at, where the main pulley mounts, is 5 bolt holes. I've tried heating it with a torch, still won't budge. What am I missing - is there something I need to do to take off this thing that is in front of the sprocket?- posted
