ChrisSZ Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 needed for my baby. Had three of us pouring over the bloody bolt this evening trying to get the bugger off. After knackering one socket and practically rounding off the bolt, we've decided to weld an old socket over the nut and try it that way. However, if all else fails, does anyone have a crank pulley (may have to get grinders/heat gun etc. out on the stubborn bugger:(). Not a definate yet - just looking at cost and availability - cheers all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 you need a impact socket, six sided, much stronger than the multi faced ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I've got one off a 55,00 mile car. Bit of paint peeling off, but the rubber looks ok. £80 inc p+p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Is that the bolt that is tightened using over 300nm of torque? You need a long scafold pole on the end of a breaker bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 We tried a flat sided socket - it went 'ping' (cheap one), we tried an impact socket bracing the bar against the chassis and trying to crack it with the starter motor - the nut eventually started to round off (both using the correct puller/locking tool). We are now at the stage where the nut is beginning to round off so the next step is to weld a socket in place and use the locking tool and a scaffold pole (actually a nice, extra long jack handle). If all else fails - it's time to get Medieval on it's ass!! (in which case I'll probably be needing that replacement pulley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nice prices thanks Lucifer - but no longer a worry:) Finally managed to get the bolt from hell off and the pulley (welded a socket onto the bolt and brute forced it off). Unfortunately the problems continue - very stiff inlet cam :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
