How do I take this crank pulley off??!?
I'm replacing my oil pump, and I need to take the crank pulley off. I have the flywheel lock in and the first two parts of it off (ac and power steering belt pulley part), But how do I get the next two off? (Where the balance belt and timing belt go around). On clarks it says something about a woodruff key? someone help, I wanna get this done!

I took my crank pulley off after i took off all my timing and balance shaft belts, rollers, tensioners and etc. I then unfastened the rear belt cover and slid a screwdriver behind it to push from behind the pulley off. It came off really easily. Hope this helps.

You really should be using a gear puller on that. Side-loading by prying from behind can leave gouges in the shaft. This comment is obviously not limited to the crank pulley.
Ask me how I know.

two questions
- why are you replacing the oil pump? They have almost nothing inside that wears or makes contact, ive never seen one go bad- why are you replacing it???
- have you taken out the 24mm crank bolt yet? Once that is out they should wiggle right off.

It was diagnosed at a porsche shop as going out, and it had a leak around the seal, so I just made sure it was all sealed up nicely and put a used one in good condition in. It's all on now, should work out well......I hope...

Haha, that's his cam, not his crank.
Man, I tryed side cutters on the woodruff key on my cam gear...talk about impossible. I gave up, I didn't absolutely need it out to do the job.
Why did you go with a used oil pump? Seems like something you'd want to put new since it's kind of a PITA to do, if it ever "goes out" again. Kind of like using "used, but good condition" rod bearings. It just doesn't make sense...
