To take it out, do i turn the bolt clockwise of counter clockwise to take it out?

 

Anybody? I need to get my car going...

 

counter clockwise like every other bolt.. you got to use a breaker bar and 19mm socket.. and btw you will need a strap wrench or chain wrench to counter the pulley from rotation..hth

 

thank you.

 

your very welcome

 

btw you will need pb penetrating fluid or wd-40 if the bolt is stuck... that has 130 lbs of torque in it... you will need help..either way

 

its a pain to get that thing out, trust me

 

Well, no luck! 5 CRAFTSMAN sockets later...nothing. I dont have access to a impact gun neither!!!!! This sucks

 

you have to use 1/2 inch drive socket and wrench with a 20 foot breaker bar

 

how do u reset the timing when you do this?

 

tdc, and the cam gear has to have the "up" mark up.

 

i used a 1/2 drive and impact sockets with a 3 ft bar!!

 

propane torch on the bolt for 20 min should help...

 

wont that make the bolt expand? Or warp the pulley somehow?

thats why i said propane - it wont warp anything at all, it's not hot enough...

heat helps because it melts the thread locker. It's even more important wishbone bolts and lower control arm bolts.. why do you think people break them all the time? take a close look and you'll see a hole filled with blue threadlocker on those bolts..

thats wont work need something bigger and longer (20" to 24" is the ideal)...you need more torque for the problem....and then you can even reinforce that with a lead pipe... or any pipe would do

 

 

Is the motor still in the car? I have this same problem busting the bolt.. It is a pain in the *** with a breaker bar. Just take it to a tire shop.. they will take it off for you. It is three second job with an air wrench. It shouldnt cost you more than five dollars.

 

put a pair of vise grips on the pulley then use a breaker bar to rotate the the bolt counterclock wise the visegrips shoudl get stuck on frame and keep pulley in place. It worked once for me so its worth a try.

DEF

how would you get home if the motor is still in the car

 

Just go to a shop and have them break it loose with a impact wrench. Then have them tighten it back up. Now that they have broke it loose, it should be easier for u to remove. Btw, my 500 ft. lb. gun wasnt enough so i had a friend work his magic with his 650.

3 feet is longer than 24 inches...

i dont see what the big deal is. i got mine off with the car in gear, brakes locked up and a 18" breaker bar. you guys must be "girlie men" lol jp

 

i took mine out with impact gun... much easier.

yea i only got a 18" breaker bar too but i use a pipe to put more torque to it.. i said ideally 20"to 24"(2ft) is ideal... but yea that damn bolt is a bitch to come out...lmao...
