Chris - I tried your breaker bar suggestion for removing the bolt...but it didn't work for me. Everytime I bumped the engine, the wrench would just fall off the bolt. What I did was wedge a wrench inbetween the harmonic balancer and a random bolt on the engine. (Specially, I used a 6" wrench in between the harmonic balancer and a water pump bolt.) Once that was wedged in, I just loosed the bolt with a large wrench. This worked equally as well when I tightened the bolt down to 80 ft-lbs.
Just curious - Chris, what do you do to re-tighten the bolt? Without an impact wrench (or wedging the balancer like I described), its nearly impossible to get to 70-90 ft-lbs without turning the engine. And I can't see how you can tighten it by bumping the engine. Joe |
