I think you're looking at the bitch pin there aren't you? If so, you have to pound it out, just make sure you have a properly sized punch and a heavy *** hammer with a non------ swinging arm. If you fail at that, you could try to just disconnect the rod at the shifter and try to pull it out with the engine, or just cut your linkage in half and reweld it later Replace that bitch pin with a bolt and nut if you do remove it though, it just makes it that much easier next time

Once you do it a few times it becomes clockwork. I could get a engine pulled working by myself in under 2 1/2 hours with breaks.

The single cam is an easy motor to work on, enjoy it, and appreciate the time you spend on it.

Next time make sure to have the a/c system evacuated. There isnt even a need to remove it anyways. But that stuff is really bad for the environment and it sucks to see people letting it loose without a care. There are big fines that go with it.

If you had that much trouble trying to get the axle nut loose and all that other stuff, all I can say is have fun with that crank pulley. Do yourself a favor and buy the special tool that fits into the pulley...it'll save you many hours of frustration and kicking and swearing.

Thats an idea that I may look into since i had to buy a puller anyway. may take it back now that you say that. and the reason I had issues with the axle nut is cause i didnt have pateints and payattention to what I was doing. I just kind of flailed on it and then realized that i had made it worse. Once it was all mushroomed on that side and ---- I knew it was gonna be hell before it came4 off so i just went another route. motor had to be out by sundown lol.

Yeah the crank is gonna be fun.
