Crank pulley replacement problems
Hey everyone. Bought a lightweight crank pulley from Z1 and went to replace it this weekend. Followed the service manual and got to the part where I need to break the crank pulley bolt free.
OK, so now where do I go from here? This bolt is not moving. I'm thinking the next step is to use the tool specified in the service manual (J-44716) and then with the flywheel locked I could put a pipe on the end of my breaker bar and reef on this thing and I hope that will do it. The only problem is the internet sources I've found so far for this flywheel tool are $200+. Can anyone suggest anything else for me?
- Tried my 450ft/lb 1/2" Impact Wrench. No go. Won't budge the bolt.
- Tried the trick people have mentioned on the forums of putting a breaker bar on it & bracing it against the ground and cranking the engine. Tried that 3 times and each time it just lifted the car into the air to where it was almost coming off the jack stands.
- Sprayed the bolt down with WD40 and Liquid Wrench and heated it with a torch, then tried the breaker bar trick again. Still didn't break free and I started to get worried about damaging my starter.
