Hello Folks,
I'm knee deep in a timing belt replacement on my 96 Corolla, I was dreading getting the crankshaft bolt undone, but that was a breeze....then I tried to remove the crankshaft sprocket to replace the seal behind it and im literally "stuck" in my tracks. All my manuals say this thing should "slide" off eaily, one book says if it is stuck to pry it out with two flat screw drivers.... no dice! There no room to manuever and I've thrown the wrench in for the afternoon and I'm hoping someone out there has some ideas.
A run down of what I have tried thus far:
PB spray and tapping the parts prying it out from above and nearly any angle, tried with screw drivers and even small trim bars (about 6-8 inches long)
About to head to the local parts shop and look at a "pulley puller"
You help is MUCH appreciated!
Sincerely,
Blake
