k i got a 3/8" socket extension stuck in the crank while removing the pulley. i gotta get it out, i've tried all kinds of shit. it will wiggle around a little but thats about it. i've tried 2 pipe wrenches, one on the extension and one on the crank where the pulley slides on. doesnt work. how can i get this damn thing out? i'll try anything.

lube it up real good, and keep wiggling it. up, down, left right. eventually it should start to break loose. now...this may take a while, but you wont tear anything up like you would if you went cutting or beating or whatever.
you can lightly tap near the hole opening with a hammer, again, up, down, left right to speed up the process...but dont rear back and whack it. maybe with a rubber mallet or something

ok, mommy said just take it somewhere and have it removed and she'll pay for it. fine. im a firm believer in doing things myself and fixing my own mistakes, but this is a pain in the ass, and im not at home im at school so fuck it. a good shop should be able to get it out right?

its round, it fit in the hole, and at the time, it was loose. after the 5-ton puller though. its uh, pretty tight to say the least. yea its a shitty lesson. every1 else should learn from my stupidity.
