I am having a quit time removing the racket from the crankshaft so I can remove the fan pulley from my 59a block, any suggestion's would help, this is not a show car can I use a regular hex bolt when I the ratchet out, also does the pulley require a square key to keep it from rotating(size? thanks members

hi cranking ratchet I used blunt drift and a hammer to remove the ratchet nut, just remove it like a regular bolt, if you do not have a wrench that size, kind of expensive for a one time use, most of the time you can reuse this ratchet nut, I doubt you will find a bolt in hardware store to replace that ratchet nut, Its special size, you can tighten the nut with the starter crank wrench, using a mallet to tap on it, most FORD PARTS suppliers carry new one, if it gets ruined . they are about 13 14 $ I would suggest requesting a catalog, so you have a way to get some parts like C & G 1 800 266 0470 and A and L in CONN, 860 693 0112 hope this helps 1937Ragopman I think you will more posts ways to do this but it worked for me for the last 50 years,

I am having a senior moment about the size of the nut portion of the ratchet, but I use a thin wall deep socket to remove it. I think the size is 15/16". I would look in the car tool box to see, but the car is in the body shop. If I remember the size, I will post it. I know that the size is one that is hard to find in a deep socket.
