After procrastinating for 6 weeks on taking off the pulley bolt,  I lubed it weekly......well it came out practically by hand.  NOW for the damper pulley.  Special tool from Casco...is that the only option?   Standard 2 jaw pulley remover doesn't seem to work.  ALSO what is this thing called a "sleeve".  Is it behind the damper?  According to shop manual there is a ford tool for that, also.  BTW I don't see where the balance ring has slid back (no rubber showing)  but it is against the front engine mount.  I would love to meet the guys who worked on this engine before me!  Any ideas and thoughts are welcomed.
