clockwise or counter clockwise to LOOSEN ?? Thanx

 

Righty tighty lefty loosey. So counterclockwise to loosen it. Have fun i broke 2 breaker bars on that son of a bitch.

 

impact gun is where its at.

 

Yea I couldnt get it off with the snap on impact. I use a socket wrench with a bigass pipe on the end to break it loose.Both breaker bars were harbo freight that probably why they broke.

 

Reverse on the impact gun to get it out.... just kept on impact that son of a biatch eventually it will give in.

 

unless you have a REALLY high powered impact gun with a big air compressor that can keep up with the flow then you need a 6 foot peice of pipe and the honda tool that holds the crank pulley from turning

 

I tried many impact guns and they were just plain pointless. Just use a socket and a breaker bar and apply constant pressure with the car in 5th gear if its a manual. Dont just jerk the bar or it wont come out. Constant pressure.

 

Yeah my impact wont get it loose ......
i havent tried the breaker bar yet because i dont have the pully holder.

oh well , where can i get that pully tool???

 

heres the key...PB BUSTER its the best penetrating oil money can buy...spray it on there give it a few min and do it again...get that impact gun back on there and watch it come off...i removed all 3 of my cars crank pully nuts by hand with this stuff...19mm socket and a 2 ft breaker bar...craftsman

No need for a pulley holder. just take off the flywheel cover on the bottom of the tranny. Then put a long screwdriver in there to hold the crank from turning. Works perfect and saves you $, but if you have the money buy a pulley holder im sure its well worth it.

 

i also just put a screw driver on there while my dad cracked the bolt loose. piece of cake.

 

i had thought about that (puting the car in gear vs. a pully holder ,. is that safe for the tranny?

This is what i do when I take out my crank pulley. Or you can take out your starter and place your screw driver there.

Putting it in gear will not hold your crank from turning.

 

so many choices here .... guess il try em all till the damn thing comes off lol

 

Impact at 150psi did the trick.....

Awesome...Ive never met a crank pulley bolt that i couldn't get off with a breaker bar and a screw driver in the flywheel..

 

i had to take the torch to mine...
after at least 10 min of heating it came off.. (shitty impact didnt help though)

Really? Wow. Please elaborate on why that is.

I had to have mine taken off with a 3/4'' impact at full power, which is like 1200lb/ft of torque...
