does having the belt on matter?
I don't know just throwing that out.....
06-14-2010
the belt is off , i just need to know if it comes off lefty loosy or not .. lol..

crank the starter over seems to work for others brace the bar against the frame and tap the starter
Just make sure the fuel and spark is disabled

Just saw that u got that pict from the write-up.Originally Posted by pughman
Put some PB blaster (penetrating fluid) on it

Do the starter trick. Unplug the ICM. Works every time.
06-14-2010
PB Blaster seldom works since the bolt has thread locker on the underside of the flange.

1/2 snap on impct works great too

Ok, the starter trick didnt work for me. I ended up breaking a 1/2" breaker bar, the crank bolt was on so hard.
make sure the flexplate is clamped good,(or how ever you're keeping the engine from turning) Jack the car up some more, and get some more extension on the end of that bar, and turn as hard as you can Counterclockwise.
Just dont pull muscles like I did....

heat the bolt up with a torch and spray it with water. than try the starter trick. if that doesnt work buy an impact gun

Yeah.... dont heat the crank bolt unless you want to buy a new balancer.

When i took mine off we need a 1/2 impact, with a lot of torque, breaker bar wont do it

stop being women.
a four foot breaker bar and a simple vice grip on the flex plate and boom.... off it came.

four foot breaker bar?
Take off the dress Matt, I can do mine with 1 finger and an impact gun
02-04-2011
sorry, i believe it might be a 42" bar.
the point is.
Working smart is better than working hard.
02-04-2011
pshhh...you guys are doin it all wrong...1/2" breaker with a STB off a buick is what I used.
My stepmom's car....well that one broke the socket....bolt didnt wanna come off...period.
02-04-2011
Yea... and letting the air compressor do the work is the smart way
Its ok. I just did the oil pan gasket on the model A and it took two trys and its probably still going to leak.
