'04 Explorer EB Crank pulley problem

[mayimbe81]

Ok fellas, I got a serious problem here, I recently encountered my 1st major problem with my Exploder, the crak pulley worked its way off the damper and now the damper doesnt want to come off. i loosened the pulley bolt off, but it doesnt want to slide off, so i bought a pulley remover but the two bolts dont want to thread into the holes, it feels like theres no threads at the bottom of the holes, has anybody else encountered this?

get a puller with 3 claws on it, thats what i used when i was doin the timing belt on my skyline.

If your damper threads are the same as mine you need two M8-1.25x100mm bolts. My puller set did not come with any. The puller center bolt/punch must press against a bolt head after the two outer bolts are installed. Tap the puller bolt with a hammer each time you tighten it. The bolt is not reusable anyway.

the bolt pitch should be m8 x 1.25
