ok so today i decided to change my timing belt. lined everything up, loosened the tensioner and went to pull the belt off. my dumb a** friend told me i didnt need to take of the crankshaft pulley to do it. found out i had to take it of. tried for a few hours to get the beast off and couldnt do it. tryed "bump" starting it with the ignition, putting in first gear and using a cheater pipe, liquid wrench etc and couldnt get it off. frustrated i put it all back together assuming i had it lined up, tried to start it and it wouldnt start. so here are my two questions:
did i massively screw up my engine if the timing was way off?
and how do i get that stupid pulley off my crankshaft?
It sounds fine when i try to start it, it just doesn't start. I haven't been able to find out a lot about how this generation of ranger's timing is set and what marks to use on it. I would like to get my truck back.
