djbroadus Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 EA81 engine I'm trying to get my oil pump off to replace it and the alternator pulley is in the way and turning the nut results in the flywheel turning. Any tricks to get this off ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 You can use a LARGE flat screwdriver inserted into the timing sight port (on the belhousing) to lock the starter ring on the flywheel so that it can't turn. Two person job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Or a nice strong pin punch inserted in the hole in the flywheel through the timing hole. Just don't break it off or drop it into the bellhousing...that would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Also, there are some holes drilled in the flywheel that you can stick a screwdriver into through that opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
