Crankshaft Pulley - Late Build: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.

    G08030564
  13. NOTE: The 303-507 will contact the crankshaft and prevent it from turning past TDC  . However, the crankshaft can still be rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft must remain at the TDC  position during the crankshaft pulley removal and installation.
    NOTE: The engine front cover is shown in illustration removed in graphic for clarity.

    Rotate the crankshaft slowly clockwise until the crankshaft contacts the 303-507.

  14. NOTE: The 303-1565 is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation can result in engine damage.
    NOTE: The camshaft timing slots are offset. If the 303-1565 cannot be installed, remove the 303-507 and rotate the crankshaft three-fourths of a revolution clockwise and repeat the previous 2 steps of this procedure.

    Install the 303-1565 into the rear of the intake camshaft slot as shown in illustration.

  15. NOTE: The crankshaft must remain in the TDC  position during removal of the pulley bolt or damage to the engine can occur. Therefore, the crankshaft pulley must be held in place with the Strap Wrench and the bolt should be removed using an air impact wrench (1/2-in drive minimum).
    NOTE: The crankshaft sprocket diamond washer may come off with the crankshaft pulley.

    Use a strap wrench to hold the crankshaft pulley. Use an air impact wrench to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
