Default finally got my crank bolt off!!!

I ended up getting the moroso tool from summit and between having my father in law hold that while I hammered on my breaker bar, It finally broke loose. All I can say is thank god! One step closer to the darkside...

do the flywheel locking technique, takes about 15 minutes of time and you will get the bolt off and back on in no time. I got that tool but the flywheel technique is where its at! do a search for crankshaft bolt and you will find it.

c'mon guys invest in an air compressor and an impact.
save you alot of stressing,pulling muscles etc..but brute force is always good if an air compresor is not affordable
just my 2 cents

I have an air compressor and an 500ft-lb impact gun.

Some crank pulleys it takes off in one hit.

Others it won't even budge.... so we use the flywheel trick

the search din't turn anything up. i am wondering if your flywheel technique is the same as mine. i just took an old bolt and screwed it through until it caught itself on the block....
