I realize this is an old thread but for anyone needing to remove a crankshaft pulley be sure and read Purdy Swoft’s post. I broke my one piece crank pulley leaving only the hub and 1 3/8” crank nut. To get the nut broken loose I braced the wrench handle against the drivers side frame and just bumped the starter over and let it do the work. With one quick bump the nut loosened and was easy to remove along with the old pulley hub.
Many thanks to Purdy for his solution to the problem.
