I'm trying to replace my timing belt/water pump, and I cant get the crankshaft pulley bolt to break lose and i've tried everything from nut buster to a huge *** impact and nothing seems to work so if someone could give me some tricks or help it would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

 

bump

 

There is no need to bump your thread so soon, give it some time.

If you would have searched, you could have easily realized that a crank pulley holder and 1/2" tools would work wonders.

Edit:
Well, it seems the search engine isn't working.

 

no **** thats why i asked

 

and I have the crank pulley holder, I mean i've tried everything here and the stupid thing won't budge. I've been trying to get it off now for 3 days, getting nowhere and running out of options.

I'm assuming you've soaked the bolt in PB Blaster/WD-40. I had no trouble at all with the above said crank pulley holder and 1/2" breaker bar & attachments w/ cheater pipe. Shouldn't be giving you much trouble.

 

Yeah its drenched its nut buster....I just don't know what else to do.

 

if you have the crank pulley holder tool, then there's on excuse for not being able to get the nut off, besides being too weak,

 

I have three people pulling on it, i've kicked it while someone was holding it, I've tried almost everything, IT WILL NOT BUDGE!!!!

 

haha keep at it... itll give eventually... just be carefull not to round the bolt off =P

 

:fingers crossed: I'll just keep giving it hell until it finally gives in. Thanks

 

I had to use a 3 foot breaker bar to get mine off lol. Even air tools weren't working.

 

If your car is on the ground (like mine was), I used a 2' 1/2" drive extension to get the breaker bar outside the car. With the other bar with the pulley holder wedged into the ground, it broke loose, but it was a pita before that; I thought I was going to break my Snap-On breaker bar.

 

put the car on the ground, both front wheels on, and turn the wheels to the left so you can get the extension in there.
crank pulley holder + 1/2" breaker bar braced against the ground.
19mm socket + 2' extension to clear the fender + another 1/2" breaker bar + 6 foot steel pipe from home depot.
got it off myself. (insert sexual innuendo here)
