hey guys. my timing belt snapped....and yes while i was moving.

i got everything takin off but i cant not find anything to take the harmonic balancer pully off.

i tried a turkey foot and tried the claws tried peribars and still can not get it off. theirs no holes in the pully all their is, is a big bolt hole and a keyway.

i need this done today so p[lease help me out guys. i cant even find anything on the web.

 

See my thread:

Timing belt and cranshaft problem anyone? - Ford Ranger Forum - The Ultimate Ford Ranger Resource

Do you have the crankshaft bolt out of the center of the balancer? After I got that out, I just tapped mine with a hammer and it came off

 

Put the center bolt back in the pulley . Back it out 2-3 turns from being tight.
Install the puller , 3 jaw is best. Tighten it down.
Rap the end of the puller screw with a good sized hammer , 3-4 times.
Snug the puller bolt and hit again.
The pulley should start to move.
Remove the puller and back the pulley bolt a couple more turns.
Use the puller again in the same way , hitting the screw and tightening until you are pulling against the center bolt in the pulley.
Once it starts to move about 1/4 inch the puller should get it off.

 

thanks OTRtech. im ganna go try that right now.

 

yeah, it's not hard to get it off. I did mine with a big gear puller that I bent the arms on. put the center on the edge of the bolt hole and torque it till the balancer comes off.
hey, by the way, how did you get the center bolt out? impact wrench?

 

Ive allways used the impact to get the crank bolt out. Just put the impact on put the truck in 1st and apply the E-brake and give er hell.

 

got it off thnk you guys. but i cant get the timein off the belt right lol. from a few different people messing with it its all outta wack. so i need to have mt machinic finish it. but hey wont be as much seeing as how i have everything apart now.

 

Anyone have a part number for the harmonic balancer, the auto parts store doesn't even show one to exist!!!!

 

When I took mine off of my 94 it snapped off, so i thought getting one off at the junk yard would be a pain, but when iI went and got one it came right off, makes me wonder if some just have issues. who knows but it's all good now.

Took all apart and made sure is all lined up to TDC, what can I have missed??? Please help need to get it running am a volunteer fire fighter and need it.

 

Changed my 95 ford ranger timing belt, made sure all was on TDC even set the oil pump pulley to its marks, put together and won't crank, turns over but sounds like not firing or getting spark, what could be wrong? Am a volunteer fire fighter and need to get it running.

Please take some pictures of your timing marks (from top to bottom pulleys), so I can see if there is anything wrong.
