Think I am screwed
2005 Chrysler Sebring 2.4 DOHC vin x
Had a mechanic replacing the timing belt. He was having trouble removing the crankshaft pulley. He said it was seized and never seen one this hard to remove. He tried for a couple hours and then went and rented the proper tool. He heated and applied lubricant..nothing. Then he told me the bolt broke. Offered to replace the engine real cheap for me. Is there a way to get this pulley off?

Just a question...Why is the motor out of the car??, and what do you plan on doing with the scissor Jack???

If the engine is out of the car, you might have luck taking it to a proper machine shop. They MIGHT be able to get the thing in a press and press the pulley off. Then they MIGHT be able to drill the broken bolt out of the end of the crankshaft and re-tap the hole. I doubt that many shops could do it right, and nobody will do it cheap. You might be better off taking up that guy's offer to replace the engine.
