i checked my manual.. it never says which way, but it isn't reverse thread is it?

i've bent a 3/4" thick breaker bar trying to get it ( I bought the pulley holder tool off ebay) and the ****** won't move.. what shoudl I try next? heat it up?

 

The bolt is regular threaded. As for taking it off...I dont know, that sounds like one tight mother you got there.

 

Its a SOB to brake it loose. Keep trying with the breaker bar and get a cheater bar. Its torqued to 181 ft. lbs so it's not gona break loose without a fight. Give er hell!

 

its a real pain in the *** to take off. When my friend and I did mine, we use a huge 4ft. breaker bar to break the bolt loose

 

do NOT use heat
you risk warping the crank

 

If you know anyone with an impact wrench, now's the time to borrow it, Good luck

 

get some big *** channel locks and get someone strong to hold it while you break it loose

 

Impact gun. It comes right off.

700ft-lbs = teh win

 

not true I had a 1000 ft lbs impact gun didnt even move the bolt.

best advice is to grab something beefy like a 4 feet 3/4 driver with a long extension and 3/4 19mm sockets and suppor the extension with a jack or something so that the extension doesnt wooble and push down on
that sucker.

 

no impact gun is gonna top a tired, pissed off italian man wanting to just get the ******* thing off and go to bed.....

get a breaker bar and a ********....wrench away (lefty-loosie, its normal)

Did you just run the gun for a second? Just sit there with the impact gun on. It'll come off eventually.

 

Nope, I held my gun on it for several minutes and it did not budge.

You act like you're surprised that the gun didn't get it off. I've tried it on 4 cars now, and the impact gun has not worked for me yet. I guess it depends upon the age of the car and where you live in the country too. Like I said on my "crank pulley advice" page, different things work for different people.

 

6ft breaker for teh win!

 

only thing that works for me is lots of good bolt buster spray, 3/4" breaker bar, 4' pipe on that, and a moroso crank pulley tool lodged against the floor so it cant move and pull for all your worth!

heck yeah I was going at it forever with the impact Gun I even try tighten it and then reverse it back out.. didnt even happen. I spray Liquid Wrench and even heated it up still nothing happen. You can only go for so long with a Impact gun before you run out of air and wait for the air to come back or before you the gun get so hot that its going to blow a seal.

not ture
700lbs wasent **** for my bolt.

but my breaker bar with a 10foot pipe ofer the breaer bar and a little heat

 

Sounds like a pain in the ****. When i took my stock cat off in this texas heat it had actually wielded the bolts to the nuts, and I didnt have enough lift to use more than an 18" breaker... anyways i ended up getting so pissed off I used my foot leverage and my hands pushing on the back wheels and tore the bolts in half. Hows that for man v metal.

I dont recommend doing this on the crank tho


Anyways good luck

Saying "****" makes it sound like you're from England like me.

Yeah, it's not just people in Texas that have that problem. When I put headers in my Lude, the bolts were so corroded together on my Cat, I just threw the whole lot out and put a test pipe on instead! lol
