ok so i'm tearing down my 92 3sgte and i get stuck at the pulley, no biggie i'll continue and come back to it later, well... this is later. all has been removed, and now that pulley needs to come off. the big (like 19mm or more) bolt or nut simply won't budge! tried putting the screws/screw drivers in the 2 holes and turning it with a breaker bar but it simply bent the screws. moved on to a decently nice, fairly new impact wrench, and have the same result. need some help guys/gals. thanks. i've been told there's a better tool, can anyone be specific? thanks.

I have had that same problem before too, and if the engine is still in the car, here is a way, put the breaker bar on the bolt and then either brace it against the frame or the floor and then with the ignition coils unplugged from the harness so the engine will not start, just bump the starter over and the starter will break the bolt loose. Worked on my daughter's car and I had a huge impact on it and it would not even think about coming off. later wd |
