Engine Strip Down

[Tatey]

I was about to reverse into the garage when a van pulled right up my arse and a car was coming the other way, so i thought wat the hell and i decided to drive on and turn around instead of having to sit there for ages waiting for the van driver to reverse and wait for the other car to then get passed, so technically i've only failed to pull into your garage once out of the 3 times due to my crappy driving

I've managed to remove the bolt from the crank shaft pulley, its just trying to get it off of the shaft is what im having difficulties with, the oil seal obviously still on the crank shaft so i cant get my trust hammer in position to give it a small tap In the haynes guide it says to use a puller, but i dont have one, has anyone got any ideas?

When you say plug socket im guessing you mean the spark plug socket?

Oh also, im having issues removing the spark plugs as my spark plug socket wont fit in the hole for the spark plug...go figure. Only my 17mm socket would fit, am i being really stupid here? (im guessing i am)
