DAMN IT!!!!

- Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:28 pm #100908 You know anti-clockwise is the way to un-bolt right? Joke!

Let's hope it dosn't snap like most do.

- Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:30 pm #100909 yes i remember my lefty loosie righty tighty

- Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:47 pm #100910 you cant use electric.. air with a high torque impart gun ftw..

- Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:16 am #100916 yeah that's what i tried, electric was the last resort and still no go

- Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:31 am #100920 let it sit for a day with pb and try it then.. go back and forward with the impact gun it will come.

I've always had luck with a PB blaster and an impact though.

you can always block your flywheel from turning which will keep your crank pulley from turning.


You could even take out a spark plug and get a long bolt of the same thread and screw it in right to where your piston is approaching TDC and stop the piston from moving up and stop the crank pulley from moving. Just be sure to take it out before cranking the motor!

Once the crank pulley can't turn, get a huge breaker bar or use a pipe over a smaller one you already have to make a longer bar for more torque.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
