On my car the pulley was reverse thread. I removed it by using a breaker bar and while my friend was applying pressure I hit it low with a hammer and it popped loose. Is the diamater smaller? this is where you will see more power since you slow down the rest of the accesories.

I am amazed that the original crank pulley weighs 3 kgs, that`s a lot of weight. Would of thought being a Subaru the crank pulley would have been fairly light in the first place. Something to put on the list of wanted parts then.

I was very suprised when I prised it off the crank trying to hold it between two fingers ... it dropped :lol:

Did you manage to prize off the pulley without upsetting the timing Dunc?

There is an inner timing pulley that is independant of this so no probs there. Just a simple undo a bastard of a bolt and ease it off.

Emmm.... now I`m confused so you have changed the fan belt pulley not the crank pulley? crank pulley involves taking the timing belt off.
