superman crank pulley removal

[93EXaesthetic]

damn...how do i get my crank pulley off?..i used 180 psi on an impact gun..and had the a bar to hold the pulley in place..actually some dudes at a local car shop did it for me...they said it was one of the hardest bolts they have ever encountered...
i was thinking i should have soaked the bolt with wd-40...before hand..any other suggestions?

[accordztech]

soaking is the smartest way to go.

use the gun and instead of pushing the trigger, repeativly hammer the trigger in quick short intervals. usually the first push is the most strongest.

u can have the most powerfull gun but if your compressor cant push it then its nothing.

WD-40 isn't a very good penetrating lube which is what would have been helpful for that bolt. Even something like brake fluid makes a better penetrating lube than WD-40.

PB blaster can't hurt...as hitting the nut with a propane torch before hand. (Assuming you're not around anything super flammable, of course)

just get "penetrating lube" works for me

[accrdpower]

easiet way is to torch the bolt for about 15-20 seconds.....make sure u go all around the bolt...and walla bolt off!!!

get a bigger gun. 180psi is more then enough air btw.

u would be surprised. lol i tried almost everything....i even took it to a shop nearby to loosen the bolt for me and they had trouble. they used breaker bars, impact guns, brute force, NOTHING....then they brought out the torch, heated it up red hot then used impact gun and it came of.....it was rusted to shit when i saw it. they got rust off and put antiseize compound on i hate them crank bolts lol

1. Go to the weight room
2. Lift weights until you have biceps as big as Mark McGuire. (Use 'roids if necessary)
3. Then impress your friends by using a breaker bar and breaking off the crank bolt with one hand. lol
Seriously, I would use the torch. It's faster IMO

i second this! it is much easier to do with this "special" tool. i broke it loose with only a breaker bar.
