Yea what you said does make sense. And that would be the end result. And it really wasnt my idea to hit it with a torche for a few seconds, one of the service techs at toyota told me too. But he did say watch out for hitting the ballencer and the crank, dont get it too hot, just enough to make the metal expand a hair because thats all ill need.
Well if the key is sheared and stuck in the crank with the pulley half on it, how do i remove it????? The only thing i can think of it heat and alot of force, which might in turn end up killing my crank.... but that pulley would be done for
