What is involved in removing the front pulley(s) & damper on a 292 Y Block?
I can't seem to remove the front bolt & wonder what the process is?
Thanks
Jim

Remove the center bolt.  If any accessory pulley is installed, remove that.  Use a damper puller to pull the damper.  To install, you need a damper installer.  In case you are wondering, a hammer is not an installer.

To remove the bolt
If equipped with a manual transmission, put it in gear, put on the brake, chock the wheels and use a breaker bar or long handled 1/2" drive ratchet.
If auto transmission, use the breaker bar and get in a position where you can pull on it hard and release repeatedly.  That usually works it off.  Don't use an impact wrench.
If on an engine stand, use a big screw driver to wedge into the teeth of the flywheel and lock it in place or thread in 2 flywheel bolts and use a long wrench to hold the crank from turning or get a proper flywheel turning tool to hold the flywheel in place.

Charlie - why do you advise against using an impact wrench.  On hard to release bolts, I have used an impact wrench with much success

Cast cranks can break easily with an impact wrench.

Thanks Guys for the suggestions.
I'll have to try Charlie's method as engine is in the car and is an auto trans
Hope it works, as I've got to get it off

OK
I got the bolt out using Charlie's method.
Now, how does the damper get removed?
Thanks

You need to get a Puller. Same Type used on Steering Wheels. Bolts on with the existing threaded Holes in the Damper.

If it's a pulley on a Tbird the steering wheel type puller will not work
