I can't loosen the bolt on the front of the crank. It's on real tight.
I tried an air impact rated at 600 ft-lbs. No go. Not real confident it actually puts out that much torque, but still... Also made a tool similar to the factory tool to hold the pulley. Long plate with 2 bolts through it into the threaded holes on the pulley. Torqued plate hard against pulley. Used cheater bar to turn crank bolt. No go, bent the 2 bolts. I estimate I put about 250-300 ft-lbs on it. Has anybody run across this problem before and found a solution? This post has been edited by dgbldr: Apr 24, 2009 - 6:47 PM |

Put your 1/2 ratchet with a breaker bar on it and plant it against the ground. Pull your efi fuse and the plug that goes to your coil and turn the starter over. That crank pulley bolt WILL break loose.
