As you can tell I am new to the F150 forums. I am in the midle of a big project on my truck right now and I am stuck at a dead end. I have the luxury of having the well known manifold rust-out problem and along with it, the broken stud syndrome. So I have resorted to taking out the heads and drilling/ threadchasing all the holes. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the crank pulley off of the engine. I can not get the center bolt turned, but maybe there is something I am missing. Everything else is unbolted up to that point. If you have any other suggestions on how to more smoothly complete the whole project, I could use that info too. Thanks and I look forward to being a member here.

 

There's only one way to get that bolt out - turn it. If you can't, then take it to a pro.
