Anyone have any thoughts on getting this guy out.

 

Did the crank pulley spin loose? I've popped a stubborn one in the past with a punch and hammer

 

No the oil pump sheared it down when it went out. I have been pounding on it with a punch for some time with no luck.

 

might try that freeze off in a can to see if you can shrink it a bit. I fear it is stuck in the key way due to the mauling it took.

 

you dont see that every day

 

Daum! That thing is FUBAR.

If the keyboard cleaner trick doesn't work. Drill a small hole in the top of it in a location where you can insert the punch and tap it out. Load that thing up w/ PB Blaster to assist with cutting down friction. Preferably, you would want to drill the hole closer to the end of the key (the end closer the radiator).

 

Alot to be said for the lack of lubrication

 

Blow it out with a torch....Just be careful and take your time.

 

I would suggest heating the crank is your last resort

 

If there is room, surgical use of a cut off tool or dremel to cut a slice down the middle of the key should relieve enough pressure to allow its removal, just be sure not to touch the crank.
