Thread: F100 - power unit is off the mid section

Respectfully speaking, we called it "Warm it Up" in the oil field. Shock it what loosens the Taper. If you hit it with the sledge you may damage the Thrust Bearings on the Crank. I think they are pressed on, you can check the manual I sent to be sure. Also the Block itself can be damaged. I hope you're just pulling my leg with that Mall.

Believe me, I'm not hitting it full force. I'm trying not to damage anything. I started out with your size hammer, but I didn't think to hit it 40 times, I figured one reasonably good snap with the mall would do it, but it has not worked yet. Gotta get a better puller IMHO, one where bolts don't break and threads don't strip.
