Matt Timion Driving on E Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 3,110	Once again, the engine is out... sigh... at least I'm getting really good at pulling engines :P I tried removing the crank pulley using the tried and true method, but the AC bracket got in the way. I recently lost my 14mm socket, so I'm off to autozone to get another one. Does anyone know if they sell crank pulley bolts at autozone? Mine is getting kinda torn up from all of the stress I've been putting on it.
