[DML] Re: Followup on transmission flange seal fix

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

I believe it's 36mm. I got mine at advance auto, both impact and 
regular 36mm sockets. Haven't tried to pull the pulley, I needed the 
socket to turn the crank, was planning on replacing the seal behind 
the pulley but turned out to be something else leaking so I never had 
to pull the pulley. I'm sure you'll need a puller though. I have yet 
to work on an [undamaged] engine where the crank pulley just slides 
right off. -----Dani B. #5003
