turbopath Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Anyone know any tricks for getting that stupid nut off? It's rusted on there nicely. Feels like a chain wrench will just bend the pulley. Usually there are a few spokes in these things you can stick something in...but nothing here. (VG33e) Thanks.

88blk4x4 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 if you mean the one for the harmonic balancer, I just put a 1/2 drive socket and breaker bar on it and position the bar so it dont turn and bump the starter...just make sure you have the breaker bar against something that wont give and it going the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I just hit it with the air rachet and thing breaks loose after a couple of pumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 yup. i always give it a quick shot with the air ratchet just to break er loose, then wrench it by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbopath Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would normally use air first, but I had to leave my compressor at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
