308 crank removal

Hey all.

How do you remove the 308 crank pully to replace the seal?

I started to remove it but I noticed the engine started to move. I assume you need to lock the motor from moving but I am lost after that. I need to replace the leaking seal.

TIA

Hi Mike,

You remove the AC & Alt./WP belts, then simply remove the Pulley Retaining Nut with an impact gun. After the nut is removed the pulley just sides off. Replace the seal and instalation is the reverse.

Mike,

I removed the nut as JRV described.

I think you'll want to torque the nut back on so you will still have to lock the engine for this operation. I simply put the trans in 5th gear and applied the emergency brake to keep things from moving during the torque process.

Thanks JRV and Bill.

I will give it a try
