Good evening fellow once frustrated mechanics,
I have attempeted to remove my timeing belt, and in this attempt I feel short on removing the crank pulley. I was able to dislodge the pulley but could not entirely remove the pulley itself do to the frame of the vehicle blocking it from complete removal. I lowered the engine with required engine mount removed and still could not clear the frame. What do I do? Am I not removeing a required component to clear the frame?

Thanks future saviors,

 

Moving this to the Stratus section, Those guys will be able to help you out.

 

Has been going on week two now..aghh, thanks though.

 

Do you have a 2.4DOHC? I had to remove the motor mount on the passenger side of the engine and the one next to the radiator (removed the bolt). Before removing them, I put a jack with a 2x4 on top of it under the oil pan. Once the mounts were unbolted, I just lowered the jack and it was enough to get the pulley out.

I assume you're using a pulley puller?
