Default How to remove crank pulley 2009 q7

I am new here. Also posted in technical discussions. 2009 q7 4.2l. How do you get the crank pulley off to remove the front seal?

Hey mate, firstly you need to drop off the drive belt with a 3/8” ratchet on the belt tensioner, then you will need to remove the 8 or so 12point internal head bolts on the front of the pulley. Once these are out the crank pulley is held on with a dowl into the the crank shaft. Spray some crc in behind the pulley and with a bit of wobbling with a pry bar and some effort it will come forward. You will the have to chilsle and bend the front crank seal to remove it carefully with out damaging the front engine casing.

re insatlling can be difficult with the radiator installed but depends on what your plan of attack is with refitting the front seal mate.
let us know how you go.

So update. Got the pulley off. Changed seal. Put everything back together. Changed oil filter. New motor oil. Started it up only to realize the oil is leaking from a small threaded hole that is located on the front of the block between the crank pulley and oil pressure sensor. Is this supposed to have some sort of plug in it? Is it a drain hole? Help please....

Hey mate if your referring to the small hole located to the upper right hand side of the crank pulley near the right cylinder head it a drain hole for under the intake manifold, if this is the one it means you have a large oil leak under the manifold, usally the oil filter housing return tube oring or the feed plate next to it.
can you take a pic of the hole
