I was planning to change the timing belt over the weekend (first time since I have had this car) and when I got to the harmonic balancer the bolt was loose and the balancer is stuck on.
My concern is that the key way is bent, basically I was putting as much force on the puller as I could with a 1/2 inch ratchet, and wasn't game to try with a breaker bar.
Now I'm wondering whether I just leave it as is until the water pump or timing belt goes and then rebuild or do I sacrifice the balancer and puller to get it off and hope the crank is ok.
Any advice or tips from anyone who has been in this situation would be great
