That tool is designed to be use with the pully removed. It bolts to the dampener to to keep the crankshaft from turning while you loosen the dampener bolt.Update on my attempt to remove the crankcase bolt. So I go online and think I’ll just buy the proper tool to do the job. I seen that Mancini has two tools to do this job. So I purchase and spring for the $40.00 bucks for both. Tonight I attempt to use the tool or tools to do the job. Then I realize they won’t work. How can they sell them if you can’t even begin to position them where they need to be? Please see attached photos.
Am I missing something or are they useless based on the location of the crankcase bolt and the recessed position of the bolts due to the the depth of the pulley wheel? I’m so frustrated. The reason I was pulling everything off was to get the cam out so my engine guy could cut a small groove in it for better oiling to my edelbrock performer rpm heads and my Harland sharp roller rockers. At this point I’m thinking it worked before with the same setup except iron 915 heads I don’t think I even have to worry about gettin the cam cut? It’s much more hassle then it’s worth I think. I’d love to get some opinions.

What did chrysler use back in the day to do this job if the engine was out of the car?

In his last picture, it appeared to still be in the car. Who knows?
Very diplomaticlly said Rusty. That's why I am afraid, so very afraid.Maybe we could get a member in his area to help? I mean this with all the respect possible......but if you cannot get the balancer off after all this time, what makes you think you can do the rest? It's a serious question. I mean no offense at all. None of us knows how to do everything, but removing a balancer is an easy process......and the first main thing you have to do for this job and yet here you are.
I am almost certain there's a member in your area. Maybe post in general and ask to see if someone might could come over and give you a hand? I am sure if you threw some food and beer at them they'd be happy to. You could learn something and get a new friend in the process.

Effin up is experience. Gotta have enough rope to hang yourself. Best way to learn.And I meant it just in that way. Dammit, if I had somebody around when I was first learnin effin stuff up all the time I might notta effed up so much.........naw I probably would have.

……….... Get a 1/2" long breaker bar with the right size socket. Put it on the crank bolt and position the breaker bar so that it is almost up against the K frame on the passenger's side under the car. Remove the coil wire and bump the engine with the started and the starter will break the crank bolt loose very easily.

No. The pulley comes off by itself AND dont mix up your lifters if you pull the cam.Alaskan TA
But don’t you have to get the crankcase bolt out to remove the pulley? If that’s the case I might as well just try to bump the engine with the starter.

I hope LovetheA's didn't take it that way. It wasn't meant to put anybody down. Merely a laughable observation. If anything, it was a compliment to all who are participating in the project.We were all new to this once. ;-)
People come here for help, not to be put down.
