Harmonic balancer/vibration dampener help

[613EDRTY]

How does this thing come off my m20b27 1986 325e?

Got the 6 "crankshaft" bolts off, pulley is off, balancer/dampener won't budge...

Advice?

It looks like it's just pretty rusted on there. Spray your choice of lubricant on it, then give it a few taps with a rubber mallet. Should pop free and leave the crankshaft hub behind.

keep working her. as long as the 6 bolts are out she'll break loose. maybe a block of wood and a heavier hammer.

If violence doesn't solve your problem, you're not using enough of it. ;)

I always go back to the Jeremy Clarkson answer of you weren't using the right size hammer.
