- This video shares ideas on how to remove the highly torqued and often challenging crankshaft pulley bolt. I needed to remove this bolt to replace the leaking front oil seal on a Dodge Caravan, Chevy Cavalier and Daewoo Leganza. See how I did it with some common tools and a little ingenuity.

I got it off using your advise, thanks a lot!
Great idea I'ma make one tomorrow
My son working on my 2006 grand dodge caravan replacing the pully
you just have to find out which way the crankshaft rotates , my dodge carvan was clockwise and then put the breaker bar on and position it on the left side against a member of the car or whatever is there, this is from below. Then crank the engine without starting it. Presto , no need to immobilize the pulley . Worked like a charm, that is if you engine runs. I went to the scrap yard for spare parts and the dodge caravan 3 l engine pulley has about 8 bolts , you can remove these and then get a piece of steel with holes in it, I used a piece from a common shelf with various holes and about 15-20 inches long would due, this can get wedged and hold the pulley still while you torque the center bolt.
I like that kind of creative, find a way to get it done, thinking!
@@TheOriginalMechanic I got the method from Scotty KIlmer ruclips.net/video/7G-adEVjfWI/видео.html
I figured out another way you can do this. Although, I will say I don't recommend it. Set a breaker bar on the bolt. One of them that's long enough to touch the pavement at an angle if you were to set it on the ground. Then, simply crank the engine. One of 2 things will happen. The breaker bar will catch on the concrete and the bolt break free using the force of the starter. Or the breaker bar will fall off the bolt. If you do want to do this just stay far away from the pulley or breaker bar and make sure nothing that can be damaged or anyone that can be hurt is in the way. The reason I say I don't recommend this is obvious but starters don't fuck around. If you aren't careful you will be getting hurt. Quick and easy way to break it loose though
I did use that method once when all else failed. It worked, but it is last resort for me due for the same reasons you shared. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well my cordless Milwaukee zipped off my bolt in a flash but re torquing it was a hell of a job lol
thank you!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Hyundai ix35 diesel 2010 front crank pulley bolt removal
Hello sir in my mitshubhisi l2pp crankshaft pulley bolt is broken.how I can remove that?
What method you used to cause it break? Did you end up drilling into it?
So I've tried the starter bump, breaker bar, cheater bar, heat, pb breaker, 1000lbs impact....every damn thing I can think of. And my bolt won't budge. Any ideas guys?
@bulg7430 then that would be a pain in the ass
Did you try using a 700 lbs torque electric impact wrench with a Lisle high torque 19mm socket? If no luck, then do as Scotty Kilmer suggests, take it to a good mechanics shop, have them loosen it slightly and do the rest yourself.
Somebody said heat the bolt directly in the center with a torch or heat gun . Get the bolt hot.
Local shop here today tried and tried "all the tricks" over 3 hours I waited - no call-ahead. I says to the guy, I says, "did you try an electric ipact?", the guys says to me, he says, get this, he says, "well, I've already put 3 hours into thism if you know somebody with an electric impactor, go for it".
I told him, pack her back up, I knoow a guy, and I'm gonna use him. Thought you had one.
OK, they're a small shop, but for my money, my next pay check is going for a 1/2" Electric Impact Wrench.
NOT STRONG ENOUGH for the tight ones. even 3/4 impact sometimes not enough
@@0x00zero what impact wrench would do it? I have same problem. Engine is moving when I try with a rachet wrench. Thanks
I like the college humor version better
Thanks for the video and glad it worked. I may transfer and adapt your idea into a tool to hold cam sprockets and/or camshafts firmly in place when fixing the all-too-common jumped timing problem on my 2.4 L Ecotec DOHC engine with phasers.
For crank bolt removal, take a look at another method from the Texas Automotive Guru, Scotty Kilmer- ruclips.net/video/7G-adEVjfWI/видео.html.
you were fortunate they usually take a lot more sweat
I just use the starter
For all the folks trying to get that dang bolt off, I am wondering: what metal is stronger than that bolt, so that when I use that metal to wedge the pulley from spinng, it wont bend or break?
ANOTHER CRANK BOLT. Or a titanium rod at least 16" long, maybe 3/8" thick.
Wedge it in a pulley hole, then use AT LEAST a 24" breaker bar (I say add a yard of pipe around that bar. If you can get that jack stands as high as possible, to get either the two foo bar to hang plumb, this will give more levrage space to pull forward on that and get that dang bolt LOOSE!
I bet this process works best. Of course, like some things DIY, "Allysia, I dont know about that!"
And forget using an air impact wrench at 700 to 1000 FT LB (assuming a calibrated 90PSI at the tool end of the hose) - use an ELECTRIC impact wrench - goes to 11, and that is what you want for a bolt that was put on at spec 96FT LB (if memory served)
After watching I'm not doing that. It doesn't leak that much oil from this area. Not worth that much work. Thanks for the low down.
skip to 0.41
Why don't you just put it in 5th gear ?
or you can buy a 25 dollar harbor freight 1/2 impact get it off in a second, or just jam the breaker bar on the subject frame and bump the engine that will do her
I always try to use what I have on hand or fabricate something before hitting the stores. Thanks for watching.
I always TRY Harbor Frieght stuff, and if I dont like it, I RETURN IT (hint)
When he says "bump the engine" he means to use the starter briefly to break it loose. Did you try that?
NONE of those screws were tight if you broke them without any cheater. 24" bar and no cheater = not very tight.
