[Supras] WTB: Crank pulley

[Koll]

Ya, it didn't let go.  When I took it off to do the seal, I noticed a chunk 
out of it.  It ran great with expected 7M smoothness.  I picked up one today 
@ a junk yard, so I'm back on track to finish that mofo job.

Yes, I can verify that all 7M crank pulleys (call them pulleys as if you 
call it a balancer, retailers attach a higher dollar value to it), stick, 
Supra or Cressida are the same.  At least the all come back with the same 
part number.

Seeing I got the ears of a few 7M vets...

How the heck do you pull out the vent hose #3 (crankcase to valve cover - 
behind the alternator) union?  My 87 Supra threaded in, but this one looks 
press fit.  This one looks like ass (19 years of blowby, etc.) and I ordered 
a new one with all the overpriced yota parts.  So, I'd like to put it in if 
possible and not let $35 sit on the shelf mocking me for an eternity.  :)
