Hi all has anyone got any ideas how to remove the crank pulley bolt, because mines seized in

 

Doesnt work with a big tool?

 

Ive had my breaker bar on it and it won't shift at all

 

a good impact gun have to take every thing out the way to get it in thear but my ingasol rand gun did it a treat

 

Yep as said. I had the same problem.

I bought an impact gun from machine mart for £50 450lb

cam straight off and it does'nt chew anything.

Shame you were'nt local I couls have popped accross and whipped it off for ya!

 

lol mines 1000lb but for £50 thats good i have snaped cranc bolts with mine befor tho

 

It will only have light use and I don't think I would reqiure a bigger one, but hey it done the job in less than a second,

 

i supose as i do it for a daily job i needed a good 1 lol

 

use a breaker bar with an extension put it in gear and then get some1 to put foot on the brakes and hang off the bar had to do this many times it will eventually loosen.

also soak it in penetrating fluid 24hrs before and this should also help

 

cheers boys i'll give it a go

 

Ive heard of people putting a breaker bar on it wedged against the floor, then turning the car over on the starter, never tried it myself though.
IMPORTANT: Make sure its on the floor the right way around so its locked off!

 

I did it the way chip has said once on my old saph

is a bit scary and be carefull as the bar can fall off and go straight through the rad!!

Yeah you would be best off to hold onto the bar even though its wedged on the floor, to stop it coming forwards, and get someone else to crank it

 

I think one of the major problems is that when you try to loosen it in 1st gear is that there is so much movement on mounts etc and engine twisting before it actually puts force on the bolt it is limited by this in the force applied.
I always put the car in 5th gear, and do from above, with rad pipes etc out of way(if convenient) you can get more swing, use extension just to make easier, I use this on my 4 foot ratchet a 3 foot extension, but so I have about 5 1/2 feet in total.
