a special puller is required or you can make one

vokal

i take it it screws into those 3 threaded holes on the pulley and pushes off the crank?

it does
the pulley is an interference fit

vokal

like a bmw mini cooper s one.

how can you make a puller mate?? does ford have a special puller?

tabetha

The pulleys are stupidly tight imo, I always take out the key and lap themn a bit with paste till they are just a snug fit then put back on with coppaslip to stop the pain next time around.

Often on egay, just a alloy round disc with centre bolt and three outer holes that bolts go through so it pushes off via the centre bolt being wound in.

the 2wd engines were a size fit but due to the harmonic resonation of the yb they came loose causing serious issue, all 4x4 are interference as standard
It is not wise to do as tabetha does

is it possible to use a 3 way puller??

you can use normal pullers but you will have to remove the rad etc to gain the space,and be careful to avoid the 4 lugs and make sure the puller you use is the appropriate size

vokal

i've already got the radiator out.

which 4 lugs must i be carefull of?

mines got a trigger wheel on it.
