I need help on getting a crank pulley off a 99 3.4L 5vz. I got the bolt out but can't get the pulley off. I've tried pry bars, a gear puller, and heating it up then the puller but it will ont move. Anybody have any help? Please.

I got mine off by rocking it off. It took minutes of rocking it outwards to even get confirmation that it was moving outwards. You need the staying power of a navy seal

Use a harmonic balancer pully. First remove the PS pullt, then thread some similar thread bolts into the holes, and use the puller to get it out. it will come out, with only some easy pressure. Do NOT use gear pullers, it puts the pressure on the wrong portion of the balancer, and you can tear it apart. Schucks sells harmonic balancer pullers for about $20 or so.

I'm sorry I wasn't using a gear puller I used a harmonic balancer puller. Anyways I finelly got it off, I had to thread the bolt all the way throught the pully and put nuts on the back, because it pulled the thread from the pulley. It was on good because the crank key had broke and was allowing the crank timing pulley to move about a tooth and a half. thanks.

BFH would be my guess!
