I now have a shop with a hoist! I have all my tools in close proximity and essentially every tool I need.

Had the car up, undershroud off, Transmission held with lock tool, used the breaker bar with 3 foot extension and wham, off it came.

The pulley wiggled off as with all Nissans in my experience.

So, trying to fit the new ATI, I still feel that it is somewhat tight. I measure and measured and it shows I have some clearance, but it seems tighter.

I will heat up ATI hub (with heat gun not torch), and try to cool crankshaft mount portion and see if that helps. I will also use anti-seize on crank shaft (per ATI instructions) tht may also help.

New crank end seal is on order.

Stay tuned.
