Xterra crankcase pulley bolt removal

[ankplt01]

Anyone have any ideas how to remove the crankcase pulley bolt on a 2000 Xterra? Can't seem to get it loose.

I've always just used an impact gun (electric or pneumatic). Seems to zip them right off.

Same here. I've tried using a 3/4 extendable breaker-bar before and all that did was overpower my parking brake.

These things are AWESOME. I have a friend that owns a shop, so I always borrow his, but I really should just buy one. They're SOOOO handy. A few whacks with a dead blow hammer, and just about ANY crank bolt will come off.

Automatic or standard?
