I pulled mine using an impact wrench, lots of Liquid Wrench and a few choice
words- had to max the pressure at about 120psi. The breaker bar wasn't doing
it, especially with the ancient motor mounts torn loose.
Had to swap mine- I have a '73 Midget engine with a pulley w/o the channel
for the smog pump. I need to add the anti-pollution gear back on to pass
Delaware emissions.
Good Luck!
