[VB] [T2] Crankshaft pulley

[c.dreike]

After removing the bolt, Another removal trick is to gently heat a tight 
pulley adjacent to the crank shaft using a propane torch. You should not 
have to heat it very much. Just run the torch at a low setting and go 
around and around the root of the pulley 4 or 5 times at about 2-3 
seconds per revolution. Then pull.

PS. Had a great time at the OCTO show in Long Beach, CA. Again, nearly 
300 splitties showed up! See www.octo.org.
