Hi all:

I am on my way to replace the crank oil seal in my 93 Civic, but have
hit a snag. I can't get the timing belt drive pulley off. This pulley
sits behind the large crankshaft pulley. Does anyone have any tricks to

removing it? I've tried prying on the plate that sits behind it, but
that doesn't work. Should it be this hard?


Thanks.

 

I think you mean the timing belt sprocket.

Tap it a little with a brass mallet or any other material
softer than steel. Worst case, you can purchase a puller
from Autozone or Pep Boys that should work fine.
