Crankshaft Pulley removal?!?!?

[Chrispd100]

Ok im trying to get the crank shaft pulley off and i can not for the life of me get it off... is there some kind of trick to doing this? Can you please please help me with this!!! we have used a 500 ft/lb of torque impact wrench and still can;t do it.. what do i have to do??

[Kolk1]

How big is your compressor? Even though my I&R air gun goes to like 500lbs, it maxes out around 150, due to my air compressor.

[CodeRed]

Can i just ask.... why?

[reyes1212]

yeah chris tell me why...

[Chrispd100]

Well jaun if you must know its cause i ran out of oil and burnt out some bearing and they need to be replaced... it was my fault for the most part.. i know i know.. just tell me how to get that one bolt out!!!!!

[Urq]

I use a five foot long pipe on the end of a large breaker bar for the one on my Audi?

[Chrispd100]

ok i will try that next.. but i already broke 2 wrachets so i will have to figure something out..

[reyes1212]

use the spare tire wrench thing...

[Chrispd100]

tried that... its not strong enough, why don't you come over tomorrow and bring those parts you said you were gonna bring me

[reyes1212]

because i fixed my fogs.and im still in college

[Chrispd100]

Yea well you did tell me that you were going to bring it to me... are you lying now??? shame

[BBISHOPPCM]

Oooh... a bearing job on a new Versa? Can you get some photos of the lower-end while you have it all apart?

[reyes1212]

lol not a lie. just inconsistent timing.

when i had to replace the bearings on my old '88 Conquest, i used a breaker bar with the appropriate socket. wedged it where it wouldn't move, and bumped the starter.

[kcourtad]

load that bolt up with some WD-40 to get it out

[BBISHOPPCM]

The only way I've ever succeeded in removing a harmonic balancer bolt was by using a 1/2" pneumatic impact gun (my father's older Ingersoll-Rand gun works well) and any air compressor with at least 5 gallons of capacity and 100PSI or better will work. In short bursts, anyway. You might have to rent these if you don't have them already.

yeah, I'd start by getting a quality torque wrench, and a heavy duty socket that fits your wrench without adapters. Also, get a socket with the same number of sides as your bolt - don't take any chances on rounding. Be sure to make sure you're working with the right size metric/US. Then make sure you car is firmly supported and wheel chalks in use.

Next you'll have to take off enough parts so you have good access to your bolt. If it's really tight and stubborn, you're going to need a good bit of space around it. give it some WD-40 or kerosene and let that soak for a couple hours. Having your car kept warm will help both of you as well.

Now put your wrench on there, and make hard taps. Think impact wrench, bang -bang-bang. You should be able to get the bolt to move. Once it starts moving, it should be significantly easier - so make sure not to bang your fingers too hard.

[Chrispd100]

I got it off finally today. It was soaked in WD-40 and it took lots and lots of force. The impact wrench would not work. The two of us that finally got it off have nice of little cuts to display with pride now as well.. lol. And yes i work on trying to get some pictures. I still don't understand why though Nissan had to put two oil pans on the bottom, it just makes life that much harder for me.

[bigdog]

just wondering,how'd you run out of oil anyway in a new car?

[kissfreeek]

By the way never use a torque wrench to remove a bolt or nut, its called a braker-bar

[reyes1212]

just wondering,how'd you run out of oil anyway in a new car?

he doesnt change it...lol

[BBISHOPPCM]

No, Jesus is his oil! (i.e. he relies on faith in Jesus to lubricate his engine). OK, so it's off-color. I saw a bumper sticker that said "Jesus is MY car insurance." ugh. (repenting).

[frankoV]

(repenting).

Whoever puts bumper stickers like that on their car should repent. Twice.

Once for putting a quasi-religious sticker on his/her car.Once for putting a bumper sticker of any kind on his/her car.

Not necessarily in that order.

[reyes1212]

...unless its of good choice.none of those big rectangular stickers though...they suck ballz.
