Key broke, how do you remove pulley? 94 1.8
Key broken and I'm guessing part of it is wedged in there to the point the coged pulley will not come off. Already chipped it in one spot trying to pry it off. There is no way to fit a puller behind it and no holes taped in it to get a balancer puller to screw in to......ideas?

I think you'll have serious issues with welding that on straight. The process of heating it up on one side without it being secured by the crank bolt will almost certainly cause it to sit unevenly.
That being said - I've repaired a number of cranks with damaged keyways. Some steady work with a tig welder and then have it looked over by a machine shop... But it sounds like you are looking for a quick fix..

As I got the car with out the AFM or crossover intake pipe and crank looks like this I bet your right. Header was heat wrapped. All pointing to hotside SC in its past.
