This aftermarket crankshaft pulley removal tool performs the same intended function as the following specialist workshop tools:

• Ford OEM special tool: 303-1657
• Ford tool components: 303-1657/1 and 303-1657/2
• Endeavour Tools equivalent: ET9162

A practical alternative to the Endeavour ET9162 for mechanics requiring a dedicated Ford Ranger 2.0L EcoBlue crank pulley removal tool.

Why Does the Ford Ranger EcoBlue Need a Special Crank Pulley Puller?

The crankshaft pulley on the Ford Ranger 2.0L EcoBlue engine incorporates a bonded rubber vibration-damping section. Using a conventional two-jaw or three-jaw puller on the outside of the pulley can damage the rubber section or separate the harmonic balancer.

The Ford 303-1657 crankshaft pulley removal tool engages the designated mounting points, allowing the vibration damper to be removed without pulling against the bonded outer edge.

This makes it particularly useful when carrying out EcoBlue wet belt replacement, timing belt repairs and other front-engine servicing.

Ford Ranger 2.0L EcoBlue Wet Belt Replacement Tool

Replacing the wet timing belt on a Ford Ranger 2.0L EcoBlue requires specialist engine timing and locking equipment. Removal of the crankshaft pulley is necessary during many wet belt replacement procedures.

This harmonic balancer removal tool is commonly used alongside a Ford 2.0L EcoBlue wet belt timing tool kit to assist with the repair.

Ford Transit Parts also supplies EcoBlue wet belt kits, oil pump belts, engine timing tools and related components for Ford Ranger, Everest, Transit and Transit Custom vehicles.

How to Remove a Ford Ranger 2.0L Crankshaft Pulley

The crankshaft vibration damper must be removed according to the applicable Ford workshop procedure.

1. Prepare and lock the engine using the correct Ford workshop procedure.
2. Remove the applicable crankshaft pulley fasteners.
3. Attach the 303-1657 equivalent puller to the designated mounting points.
4. Lubricate the puller's thrust screw and check that the tool is correctly seated.
5. Progressively tighten the puller to draw the crankshaft pulley from the engine.
6. Follow Ford's specified installation and tightening procedures when refitting.

Workshop note: Do not lever against the pulley, strike the harmonic balancer or use a conventional puller against the bonded outer rubber section.
