front crankseal spacer 1983 300td
 
i can't get the spacer off .. tried pliers, tapping, wishing. would some heat on it help or hurt?

I understand heat will help. If you have a helper, one of you heat it up, the other using a pair of channel locks should be able to work it off. That spacer will heat before the crank due to less mass and expand enough to remove.

Did you try the opposing screwdriver technique?

I have a puller I used in my toolbox, happy to mail it if you cover shipping. You'll need about 1/8" behind the ring. You might try heat, or several hits with a punch or radially oriented cold chisel to expand the diameter a touch.

When I did mine I used a small cutoff wheel with my die grinder and cut it being very careful not to get into the crank. Then took a chisel and opened it up to relieve it and it came right off.
