Hi all,
I've just come in from stripping the Water Pump off my R32 GTR. Grrrrrr!!!
Well, I had a nightmare undoing the Crank bolt. I tried chocking the wheels, wedging the brakes on with wood between the pedal and drivers seat.....
So, I stopped and looked, then thought, and looked some more....and tried this:-
Get a strip of mild steel bar, say, 6mm thick by 25mm wide. Drill a 10mm hole in it, then get an old M10 bolt and cut a piece off, say 10mm long. Pass the bolt through the bar, and into one of the drilled balancing holes on the front of the pulley, and lock in place with a small G clamp.
Turn the Pulley so the bar is wedged between a small piece of wood to protect the pulley and the ground (Much like wedging a bar between your wheel studs to undo the large centre Driveshaft nut). Get out your trusty 3 foot breaker bar, and hey presto, the 30mm nut cracks undone!!
This saves all the hassle of using a impact gun or removing the starter to lock the flywheel.
And..................it works:smokin: :smokin:
Regards
