I sure hope ya meant 5.0 as in a Chevy 305 engine tho.. hehehe
Remove the big washer and then re-install the bolt so you can press on the bolt and not bugger up the threads in the crank ya mean when the puller slips...
1) Thanks for the 'spanation. I had to think for a sec what a "dizzy" is, then it hit me....I love it! Keep 'em coming, I'm learning a bunch!

2) Nope, my dizzy is located in the "natural" place, on the FRONT of the motor. I won't chide you that this is the FORD small block section (I try to NEVER bite the hand that feeds me...) Richard was alittle hard on you about that "balancer/damper" thing, so I won't rub it in. And what I meant was, remove the dirt-encrusted-so-bad-that-you-can't-even-see-it washer, so your puller actually makes contact with the nose of the crank, and not that washer that's snug against the damper. Kinda like pushing against a brick wall. Soemthing's gotta give, and it won't be the wall..... I get to go to Sears to get a new puller since I was a BIG FAT DUMMY!
