Why change the crank pulley? Unless its broken I would not change it make sure but is right

If the crankshaft pulley must come off here is a couple of thoughts. You will need to remove the bottom rear motor mount to engine bolts on both sides and loosen the other two. Remove the bolts on the front mount yoke. Remove the front spring U bolts and crank guide. Remove the accelerator assembly from behind the engine. The front of the engine can then be jacked up enough to remove a one piece original type crankshaft pulley. If the pulley is an original type cast iron pulley, the large part of the pulley can be easily broken off for easy removal and replace with a two piece crankshaft pulley . The crankshaft is forged and won't break. I've seen pictures of Bud Winfield removing crank pulleys in this manner when he demonstrated the Winfield vibration dampener.
