Any secrets to getting one out? Tried heat, vicegrips (worthless), side cutters, little chisels, etc. No joy yet. I need to polish a crank nose. |

Weld some scrap metal to it. Long metal.. Grind a slit in it. Then weld the metal with the slit onto the key. Hammer it out. Greg |

Tap on one end of the key with a hammer. This should raise the other end. Then use a center punch on the raised end to remove the key. |

I've done what Kesteb said. If stuck, heat with propane torch, hit with PB Blaster or similar, or a wax candle, and try again. Normally I never touch mine, only if damaged. Lou |

Really! Maybe I'm overly cautious, but I'd be concerned about removing too much metal, and having a loose fit for the balancer.Why are you polishng it? Trying to get rid of a seal groove? I wonder if some previous owner glued it in place? Roger |

I had a similar problem. That is why I used the method I mentioned above. This of course was an in vehicle/ in block solution too. Greg |
