Where can i get Crank pully tool for a 300?
Where can i buy/rent the tool to remove the crank pullly of a 300 motor? the motor is out of the car and i dont have air tools just yet. Can i make a tool or find some other way to get it off with out needing the tool? When it was in the car we tryed to put it in gear and with the e brake tight but it still didnt budge.

I got my first set of spring compressors this way theyre were brand new so... I decided to keep em! When I needed a second set I rented and returned them.. nowhere near as good condition as my set!

it probably would have been easier to take that pulley off when the engine was still in the car. you can get a long breaker bar and have it rest somewhere sturdy under the car and crank it. it should loosen the bolt fairly easy. now since the motor is out the way i did it was to lay the motor on the side so when your putting leverage on a breaker bar it doesn't push the engine over and have one or a couple people stand on it cause the engine is going to want to move. i tried to impact it first but it did nothing so i heated up the bolt then tried with the breaker bar and the engine would want to tilt over so thats when i layed it on its side and had a couple of my friends stand on it while i lossen the crank pulley bolt with a big *** breaker bar. hope that helps.

i know all about autozones tool rentals but i dont think they have the tool that i need, and yes i know ill need a gear puller. i just need to find the tool that has the 2 studs/bolts to fit into the pully. I dont think the chain wrench will hold tight enough but ill give it a shot. Heating up the bolt doesnt seem like it would help much as it would make the bolt expand and set it harder into the crank no?
Anyone know the exact size of the crank bolt head?

BAD ADVICE... check the water level in your battery
Just jack the car up, use a really long breaker bar and get the crank nut off...
after that, just use the autozone tool and you're good
I think the nut is a 22mm or a 24mm
