taking everything off to get to it...

you'll need a crank puller kit ($30-$50)

have to remove the radiator (drain the coolant first), and remove all belts

not too hard but time consuming. be careful that you dont screw up your timing

I have removed everyting. I thought its simply use 27mm socket but that just turn the crank. Thanks. I will give it a go buying a puller kit tomorrow.

o yeah.. um to get that crank nut off there is a variety of tricks that people use...

now i'm not reccomending or taking any responsibility, but some people just get someone to jam on the brakes while u take off the nut. others put a big breaker bar on it and move the handle so its touching the ground (while on the nut), -then you blip the starter. or you can use an impact socket device thing. or a rattle gun

you need to use your brain for this one, make sure the breaker bar is levering on the correct side of the motor (resting on the ground on the exhaust side of the harmonic balancer). i heard of an apprentice using the wrong side as a lever. the breaker bar swing right around the motor and took out the power steering pump as well as bent the breaker. at least the bolt came loose.

hahahaha that's hilarious, i heard the same thing except someone got hit in the face with it, got a fat lip and broke a tooth, could've been worse though

I use the passenger side chassis rail with my breaker, but that's only because mine is on axle stands and I didn't want it moving, only took round 2-3 small cranks, i think it was loose by the first, but the other two helped undo the bolts

then get a steering wheel puller or hamonic balancer puller from supercheap, they are round $20

don't use the pullers with two to three arms that lock round the pulley rings, they usually end up breaking the pulley, the supercheap one screws into the two holes on the inside of the balancer, then it has a large bolt which goes through the middle and pushes the pulley out while undoing the crank bolt
