Hello, possible stupid question .... crank pulley

Another way that works to free and engine pretty well (and its much easire to free up before tearing the engine down and driving the piton out with a hammer) it to cut the threads off a spark plug and then tap that threaded part out with an 1/8" pipe tap and screw a grease fitting into it. then buy a 99cent tube of grease from walmart and use your grease gun to move the piston. It applies plenty of pressure and it is spread out across the piston. I have used this many times, no hammering no straining.

yeah, did that on the front calipers of my VW bus a few years ago, it's a good tip!

Hehe, that's a slick trick. Woops.

BP Blaster is a serious unstick the rusted on bits stuff. I am sure you all must have something equal. Google it.
