First of all, THANKS TO ALL who replied to my wobbling crankshaft pulley and gave me tips to get it off. Well, I finally got the crankshaft pulley off, and found the pulley is bent. It sure didn't come off easy, but slowly managed to remove it with a 3 jaw puller. Shows some groove wear inside, key and keyway are fine. Flange is bent and probably couldn't be repaired where it wouldn't wobble again. Bottom line is I NEED/WANT to replace it, but haven't yet been able to locate one. 1939, `40 and `41 are all identical correct?Any of you fellas have a Source for me to contact. Of course I`d prefer NOS or Quality repro, but would consider Excellent condition used. Any help will be Greatly Appreciated.

AS a last resort I would use A small die grinder or dremel like tool with A cut off wheel and try to split it in two using the key way slot for one of my cut line's go very slow checking all the time not to hit the crank leave a 1/32 or so then split it with a chisel or a screwdriver that you use for one ( every garage has one) lol ! Please be careful and Good Luck !!

I think the pulley wobbling that I noticed while engine running has already impacted the front seal, as there is a small oil leak.

Hi Tom, The Bolt & washer came out reasonably easy. Used breaker bar and thin socket. The pulley has roughly 4 1/2-5 inch clearance to radiator, so Im trying puller first. Today I squirted Blaster in the front snout and 1/8" space I see behind pulley. I think Dan is correct that its a key keyway problem because of the pulley play. the puller just tightens up and there's no moving it, I even put a short pipe on wrench but to no avail. Tomorrow I'm going to look for the "sweet spot" that Dan mentioned above, moving the pulley sideways while puller attached. Beyond that, Im at a loss, and need any advice I can get. At that point should I try to cut it off? or would it be impossible not to damage the snout? Any other thoughts?? THANKS, AL

You should not need a puller to remove the pulley. I believe that you have to remove the radiator on order to get enough clearance to remove the pulley. You may also have to jack up the front of the engine. Don't wobble it side to side or up and down too much, you will ruin the front seal and then have to pull the oil pan to replace it. Tom

Thanks DanD32! I like your suggestion of turning back and forth while pulling. I have also thought of mounting a thick solid bar of steel left and right using the fan holes, and moving back and forth to try and get by the hangup. Thanks A lot for your advice and knowledge.

I would not beat on it to much you might mess up the thrust bearing on the crankshaft and heat would kill your front seal go easy my friend. something tells me the key way is the problem I would try truning it back and forth while pullimg it off the might be A sweet spot
