Mine will not move any tips??

 

Thanks..

I have had my air gun on it for the last 30mins.. Looks like I will have to get the welding bottles out then.

Will have a good go in the morning with some heat..

yeah get some heat on it bud, then use a torque wrench on it with a hoover tube over that so you can get a real load of force on it.

Fire, Big Tools will be a fun day tomorrow.

Stop!!! you guys sometimes Sunday is for resting having fun and giving good advice and help you do-nuts not wrong advice!!

 

First of all do not apply heat to the crank shaft bolt (not nut) the crank pully has a rubber vibration damper in its construction and too much appled heat will wreck this, and never ever use a torque wrench for undoing bolts of this kind, a torque wrench is a precision tool designed to give acurate bolt tightening values not for over powering it with a bully bar on it....madmax :nono:will tell Jimmer to wag a finger at you! sure you did not mean a "torque" wrench though.

 

 

Ok the bolt is tight, its meant to be and may even have some thread lock on it, so first off get a good strong 27mm socket and a strong normal wrachet along with a rubber hammer.

 

In most cases a succession of swings will render the bolt loose, it may take a few good clouts so dont get shy.

 

However if this does fail there is the tried and tested starter method of jamming the socket and wrench against the chassis leg or floor and flicking the starter (with cas unit unplugged assumingly).

 

Both of these assume the engine is in the car if not then you need to lock the flywheel and use a big bar end of.

 

Good luck

Just to be clear all comments are completely humerous and non offending, seems as most of you are bigger than me that is!!!

I agree Jeff, I used my torque wrench as a breaker bar and ended up having to buy a new one as it no longer worked properly. Lesson learned :blush:

It's not a nut it's a bolt so if you cut it off you'll be in a much worse situation than you are now.

3 weetabix and a large hammer tomorrow then...

a good socket , strong wrench and a scaffold tube is what you need . apply plenty of bad language and it will come off

i agree that it has to be shock treatment!!

 

ratchet or even better to use a t-bar and give some good whacks with a rubber hammer. don't tap it as you need to really jolt the bolt loose.

You might be glad to know that my nut it is now off Ya!!!!:clap:
