How the hell did that happen? Did you use one of those crank pullers that "hook" onto the crank? Just wondering. Pearl02.

Dude that sucks, have u tried drilling new holes into it? Maybe try and drill new holes into it then get a flat peice of metel that like 3/8 - 1/2 inch thick and match the holes up and drill a center hole where the center is. Tap all 4 holes and start over with your new custom made crank puller

Good luck!

I bet a dollar to a doughnut that when you took the bolt out, the heavy duty washer that goes with that bolt stayed behind in the center of the damper. That would cause what you've done here: you're not actually pushing the crank snout and pulling the damper assembly to get it off, you're pushing on the center hub of the damper and pulling on its outer hub.

In other words, you tore the damper into two pieces because that washer was blocking the end of the crank snout. Ask me how I know this .

In my case, I did it on a 5.0 and destroyed the puller itself, because the damper didn't give but the puller sure as hell did.

Oh wow. Dremel it off man. Get a dremel and sit down and go through 20 heads and cut the sucker off. You dont have many options.

.....only other thing i can think of is to remove the timing cover but thats going to be a pain in the azz..

The timing cover isn't coming off with that in the way unless you break it in half or you can break off enough of the remaining damper to pass through the front seal bore...

You're probably going to have to replace the front seal anyway after the heating and whatnot.

Sorry dude. Thats gotta suck. I know you are limited with your time and all but if it were mine I would grind down what's in the way and take the front cover off so I could use a 3-jaw puller or split it with a dremel. If you don't take the cover off, there is still a half inch minimum you won't be able to get to. If you do cut it, cut it in line with the key so you don't booger up the snout.

Now if you are a lucky SOB you may be able to grind the back of whats left of the three ears square on the back and get the 3 jaw puller on those. Unfortunately they don't like to grab round surfaces.

And don't drink any beer. I know it is tempting but STAY AWAY!

NOW is the time to find the beer!
