PO welded the timing pulley onto the crank on this 94 MX5. How would you go about breaking it off? 1/2” belt sander maybe?

    Another vote for a carbide bit on a diegrinder. More interested to know why it was welded. Removing the weld is just the first step…

    Crank kit it after you cut it off with a torch. Looking like the threads are screwed up in the end of the crank as it is.
