nimbuye5 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I figured I'd start a new topic dedicated to my original quest to locate the source of the problem. Could someone please tell me the easiest way for a do-it-yourselfer or a home mechanic to remove the crank bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbuye5 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago No information about a locking tool for this pulley type has been located, and the access is too narrow for an impact. I have breaker bars and the like, but before I make anything, I was wondering how others have dealt with this. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOOLCAR Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Could you perhaps unscrew the nut by placing a breaker bar end on the floor, fitting a socket into the nut and then quickly turning the engine over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimbuye5 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Having to retorque the replacement would put me in a similar scenario, however this is my next strategy. Several items I've seen claim to lock the flywheel, but doing so seems to necessitate removing the starter, which in turn seems to necessitate moving the exhaust—something that may be a real pain on a driveway.

KOOLCAR Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago You did request ways to reverse it, so I guess that counts as my defence 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
