Crank pulley BOLT

l.groves · 10-01-2008, 06:33 PM

Is the crank bolt reverse threads??? I cant get it out or even to turn... I tried a rubber grip tool to hold the pulley from turning but the belt snapped. I tried a power impact wrench and still cant get it. Whats the best way to hold it still and is it righty tighty or righty loosie???????????????????????

Yea it should be just like any other bolt. I had to use an air impact gun to get mine on and off with no problem.

Just put a wrench on the bolt. Its a 19mm. Brace the wrench against the subframe of the car and blip the starter. Should break the bolt right off. Do a google search for crank pulley starter trick.

thanks I'll try the starter trick. I'll probably break the subframe or the starter.
