Crank Pully bolt

[99silveradodude]

i have been trying to get the bolt off for almost 2 days now, i have used 2 air guns breaker bars and all kinds of WD40. anyonw have any ideas that will work. i also tryed the pull the starter and put a screw driver in the flywheel to lock down the engine. nothing seems to be working. i need help before i just give up.

just use a long breaker bar, also slide a pipe over the bar for added leverage. we've done many and have never had one that wouldnt come off.
sounds like you just need more leverage.

how do i lock down the engine so it wont turn over.

i slide a solid piece of metal like a crow bar i the harmonic balancer and let it it hang up on the ac bracket might have to cut it , i also have a 4 foot cheater pipe on a breaker bar. . good luck

Yep thats what I did. A bar through the HB and torque away. I think the factory put some threadlocker on the bolt. Thats why it is tight.

ratchet strap will work to, wrap it around the balancer then hook it to the frame, motor, fender, where ever...then put your big boy pants on and give it hell

Yea i just chained the pulley to the frame and took a big breaker bar and went to town on it.

snap on impact gun....came right off




putting pulley back on is hell though.

Chain through the balancer is how I do it, too.

Na.. propane torch and it slides right on..just heat the inside though or u will melt the front seal....usually about 5-10 minutes of heat and itll slide right on
