| | the reason you can't usually get the nut off is cos the crank moves
lessening the initial torque you can apply on nut.
get a piece of flat steel bar & drill it so it slips over the large nut
(that's the tricky bit) then drill 3 more small hole to line up with
the M6
holes that mount the generator pulley. bolt it on, & use socket &
breaker
bar to remove nut.
alternatively, do what i did the first time: put the motor in the car &
drive it to the local tyre fitters & have them remove nut with a windy
gun.

| | Appreciate the vote of confidence and support Tom. Spoke with Dave
Otis
this morning and let him hear the racket via phone, his response was
"She sure does sound sick!", I agreed. I'm too far into this project
now to give up, so I will push on. Here's the next question:
From what Dave I can tell, the sound is seems to be coming from the
timing chest. I follow the steps on how to get the timing chest cover
off, but man is that crank bolt on there tight! Any advice on how to
get it off w/o a compressor and air gun? I got a good grip on it by
taking off the lower pulley wheel (inner and outer 1/2) and belt, and
was gripping the cylinydrical part behind the bolt with channel locks,
and tried with all my might to break the nut loose, but couldn't do it.
I'll ask Cam to give me a hand as perhaps with 2 hands and an extension
or a longer 1/2" drive socket wrench will get that sucker to crack!
Any
advice on this, has anyone been able to crack this nut without power
tools and how? I think the mystery is hiding behind that timing chest
cover. BTW, that is the seal that started leaking also, and remember
that gen belt that burnt up on me? Perhaps this is all related? Where
are the flywheel bolts that a few of you mentioned being toasted? Same
area?
Thanx for the help again!!
