Hi am trying to change the front oil seal on my series 3,
got the starter dog off but can't get the pully off.
Help
 
Am in Wakefield would of loved the help thanks
Might be a bit far though
And is that wright up for the 2.25 thanks will have a look,
The bit that sounds the easiest has turned out to be the hardest ha
 
New pulleys are cheap, you may need to replace yours if the oil seal has worn a groove in the old one. Once you have the new pulley it will not matter if you get a bit brutal removing the original. However I have never had much bother removing a crank pulley so yours may yield to a determined effort.
 
Thanks I have had a go with one but it just
Cracked the back of the pully.
I thought there might of been a pin or something holding it in
 
They usually come off with a gentle pull and a sharp smack with a hammer. Are you sure the washer is off ? Try the puller and a bit of heat plus a tap on the side of the pulley boss or the end of the puller. Good luck.
 
There is a half-moon pin in there (woodruff key) but that shouldn't be the problem. The first time I took mine off it too some persuading. In the end a good bit of heat on the pulley only and some heavy blows from a big copper hammer got it to crack with no damage to the pulley. I wrapped some strong cable round it and pulled whilst ****ting it with the hammer.

Sounds like you need a new pulley anyway...
