    Lower drive belt pulley/vibration dampener removal for timing belt job

    Hey Guys!

    First time doing an e30 timing belt replacement (my cars usually rust away before requiring it haha) and I may be stuck! Trying to remove the lower drive pulley after removing the six bolts that held it on and it seems to be hanging up on the crankshaft bolt. Could I have the dreaded 2 piece crankshaft hub that requires the removal of the crank bolt? Can't really see in there to know whether it just needs some finesse to work it over the crank bolt or whether the crank bolt needs removal.

    This is the new to me 88 ix I just bought out of Montana.

    Thanks!!
