    Crank pulley wobble

    Any tips on how to change the crank pulley, any special tools needed?

    The pulley is held with 6 bolts and is pretty easy to remove. You will need a deep thin walled socket to get to them though.

    If you're also planning on removing the harmonic balancer then that's a bit harder. After having to change my front main seal three times due to incorrect installation, I've found that completely removing the front end makes the job significantly easier. The four bolts are torqued decently high and are e torx, so if your socket slips and messes up the bolt head, you'll have a lot of trouble getting them off (ask me how I know). It's a lot easier to line the socket up and ensure it doesn't slip with the front end off. Also, the four harmonic balancer bolts are streched during torquing, so they must be replaced if removed.
