How to remove and insatll the Crankshaft Pulley on Kia Optima?

This procedure also applies to the V6 engines, so be sure to use the bolt torque specification when working on a V6 engine. Begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Next, remove the drivebelt. With the parking brake applied and the shifter in Park (automatic) or in gear (manual), loosen the lug nuts from the right front wheel, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the engine splash shield, the front wheel, and the splash shield from the right wheel well. Proceed to remove all other interfering components specific to your vehicle. Then, remove the bolt from the front of the crankshaft; if an impact wrench is unavailable, lock the flywheel with a large screwdriver to prevent the crankshaft from turning while loosening the bolt, using a breaker bar as necessary due to the tightness of the bolt. An assistant should lock the flywheel in place with a prybar inserted into the ring gear, which may require removing the flywheel/driveplate access cover. Using a puller that grasps the crankshaft hub, remove the crankshaft pulley, ensuring not to use a jaw-type puller that could damage the pulley/damper assembly, and use the proper adapter to prevent damage to the crankshaft end. The pulley may sometimes be removable by hand, so attempt to pull it straight off before using the puller. For installation, slide the pulley onto the crankshaft as far as it will go; if removed by hand, install the bolt and washer and tighten it to the specified torque. If a puller was used, employ a vibration damper installation tool to press the pulley onto the crankshaft, then install the bolt and washer and tighten it to the specified torque, ensuring the slot in the hub aligns with the Woodruff key in the crankshaft end. Finally, complete the remaining installation steps in reverse order of removal.
