opus Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I suppose I can whack these things and break them. Any easy suggestions? Radiators not coming out, I just want them gone incase I have an issue on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 you must remove the pulley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBoot Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I used a dremel rotary tool to cut the center cover in half and remove it from around the pulley, and it can still be re attached in 2 parts without removing the pulley. Or just take off the pulley, there is a hole in the flywheel you can put a punch in to hold the crank still (a bit more difficult on an automatic just jam something in there), and use a breaker bar on the pulley, no need to remove the rad.

opus Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've done a bunch just not without removing pulley.....and I didnt want to remove the pulley just for this. Too hot to have ambition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdMobile Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Mine were badly melted... I removed all the bolts holding the covers to the engine, then broke the remaining cover pieces off. Been running the timing belts "naked" since my rebuild, over a month now of both on and off road, no problems yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well that was about a 3 on the fun-o-meter. Took all the bolts off and whacked it in half and got them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yep, just bash it to pieces until it's all out. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I have done it this way. Open belts FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
