Thanks car crazy! I`ll look into that. The thing that puzzles me is I can move it left and right back and forth and same top and bottom , so it doesn`t appear to be "stuck" as much as hung up on something??

If you have room to allow use of it, you can try using a slide hammer type of puller to remove the pulley. You may have to remove the grille and its supporting structure to provide adequate space to work.

Hi to All! I`m a new member, recently retired !! My 1939 Ford Coupe Conv. Flathead has a wobble crankshaft pulley. I bought the car recently and that got by me not noticed. I removed the fan and center bolt . The pulley has play left and right and up and down. I tried a 2 jaw puller, but no luck, just tightened up. I tapped, then hit harder a block of wood on the backside, then tried a long steel punch. I can't move it. I haven't tried heat yet, as the engine is all painted for show., but I`m open to all suggestions. Is there a keyway where a key may be broken and lodged? Or could the pulley have worn a groove or burr into crank? I am hoping the pulley would wear hopefully being softer steel. Ive run out of ideas and any help or experience would be REALLY appreciated. Thank You very much.
