how to remove

[figjamidhVK8t4]

hey i stripping black 3.3 block i was wondering if some1 could tell me how to remove this pully cheers.....

Hard to figure out what is in the photo, but you'll probably need access to a bearing puller. Wasn't there a nut on the end of it? What pulley is it?

[craigvk]

Find a mechanic with the tool and give them a six pack as thanks.

its what the big bottom pully bolts onto....

You dont have a greg's book ?

Then buy one!

There chip as chips over ebay, i brought mine for 15 dollars!! almost new !

Sorry mate ive seen u ask a few question which i wish i hada book to give to you, it would make it so much easier

It looks like a timing cover but looks weird. Get a bearing puller.

And it's PULLEY not PULLY.

I HAVE 2 gregs and the black calais 1 i must be blind as a bat i spent ages seaching through both so i geuss the search is on again...

Ok its the harmonic balencer your talking about, you need a harmonic balencer pully to get it off the end of the crank shaft.

They are a friction fit, spray a pit of inox in the centre the day before you try pulling it off it will help it come off more easy.

get a gear/balancer puller, about $15 from supercheap, you place the three bolts in the three threaded holes in the balancer pulley and the threaded centre bolt that locates into the centre of the pulley needs to be tightened to pull the balancer off...

if you had trouble workin that out, wait till you get to the two philips head screws that hold the cam retaining plate in, you'll need an impact driver to remove them, if you snap em then it'll be fun and games with a bolt extractor. I recommend getting a can of liquid spanner and give them a squirt every 4-5 hours and another squirt before leaving it overnight before any attempt at removing them.

as for the rest of it, just follow your nose, oil pump + dizzy have to come off and lifters removed before you can slide the cam out... good luck, theyre a good motor to learn on....

I can't believe it took 8 posts before someone was even able to identify it as a harmonic balancer!

This is a worry :|

SAD REALLY...

[figjamidhVK8t4]

i had an idea it was but i just thought it i'll look better if i didnt know rather then get it wrong

[immortality]

How many bush mechanics does it take to identify a 3.3 harmonic balancer....

[vkberlina]

Neither can I Just a tip guys when you install a harmonic balencer on a 202 best to always use a new one dont reuse a second hand one.
Also I usually bash them onto the crank using a brass hammer it saves damaging the balencer & crank.

Also DO NOT WELD it on you will root the crank.

Yeah true. I see what you mean. I must be smoking or drinking too much. I see again now that it's obviously a balancer, but without the bottom pulley! Strange how it doesn't have a nut on it though. My 253 & 308 balancer has a nut on it.

[vkberlina]

The 202 Balencers dont have a nut or bolt unclip their V8 counterparts. The 202 balencer is a friction fit and is a prick of a thing

Thanks mate

It's no wonder I thought it was weird seeing that I only have V8 motors here. I knew it was a timing cover but I couldn't figure it out because it had no nut on the harmonic balancer.

Maybe I wasn't smoking too much after all. Just never seen one

[craigvk]

Oh yes, sorry V8's have a bolt, not a nut on the balancer. About an inch long from memory.
