As a side topic to the ever-lengthening Engine Rebuild thread in this same forum (thanks to all who are helping and responded on that), I'm running into an issue removing the harmonic damper on my 225.
I don't remember exactly what the damper looked like on my 64 225 which was a factory-original A/C car, but my '63 wagon did not originally have A/C. At some point when aftermarket A/C was installed they bolted a pulley in front of the original damper.
In trying to remove the damper, I discovered I must first remove this bolted-on pulley because the center hole of the A/C pulley is not large enough to allow the puller foot through it to push on the end of the crankshaft. Tried a few different ideas to force the pulley off, but it's holding fast. Despite un-bolting it, I believe the center of the additional pulley plugs through the original damper center hole, creating a very tight fit.
Does anyone have ideas how to get this off? Is there some kind of a tool that would aid me here? The standard puller is useless right now. If I had something with two feet that might expand with a threaded rod, that might do the trick. Anyone know of something made that would work for this?
