NST Pulley Install - Crankshaft bolt stuck?

red6spd · 12-02-2012, 11:00 AM

Me and my friend installed a crank pully on his TL and right in the instructions it told us to pull the fuel pump fuse so the car would not start and lower the car to the gound with the breaker bar still attached to the bolt until the bar hit the ground then crank the motor, you just need to make sure you have the bar pointing the proper way or it will swing the wrong way and possibly damage something. When me and my friend read this we both looked at each other like this cant end well, but one crank of the motor and the bolt came lose.

P.S this was a FWD car and the pully was much closer to the ground.

I had to use PB blaster and a 3/4 breaker bar and 3/4 impact (800ft)
as I broke 2 1/2 breakerbar
lucky me they had a lifetime warranty !

Hah, good to know I'm not the only one that was worried. That gives me more peace of mind. I might go ahead and proceed to remove the bumper and radiator. My friend owns a 800ft-lb impact gun probably like yours, that's the strongest one I know that exists. ^^

I heard of someone else trying that, but I'm afraid to try that! That might be a last resort, heh. I'm gonna try the impact wrench first.
