Everybody else's video just glides right past it or they breathe on that bolt and it just magically comes out? You are the only person that actually showed that you have to put heat on these damn things!!! Thank you sir
:) No problem. Mapp gas works best, but i used what i had at the time.
Just to clarify something here... This is a good video and a good method for this particular application but it also goes against the laws of thermal dynamics. I've been a heavy equipment mechanic for 33 years and have used heat to remove things for my entire career. When a bolt is seized, the idea is to add heat to the metal around the threads trying not to heat the bolt... This causes the metal surrounding the bolt to expand and release the bolt. However, in this case the heat is breaking down the factory installed thread locking compound, helping to release the bolt but at the same time, the bolt is expanding making it tighter in the threads. So if he would have heated thoroughly then let it cool the bolt would shrink back down and it would come out even easier. I came here looking for a solution and this video delivered... I just wanted to add what I learned from my experience.
Huge breaker bar and a big jack handle or pipe. Put blocks under the harmonic balancer and start cranking with all your body weight. That’s what I’ve always Done.🙌🏽 good video.
MrGriffin23 Engines lil too close to my cutlass, so didn’t want to risk it. Heat with a fire extinguisher seemed safer.
No....it spins
A little heat usually does the job 💪🏾
Fasho. I'd already used all my powerful impacts on them.
Lol I have to check this video to take out harmonic bolt too! Thanks so much, I put fire the same time and seconds, and come out easy!!!!!
Fasho. Sometimes it comes right off n other times u gotta fight it.
Good video
Took mine to a local shop 30 seconds with in air impacts and $10 later was done.
I had a good friend that told me this. “Sometime you gotta hold the heat to it!” 😂 I need to buy me a torch.
🤣 I hear you. Yeah I was determined to get that bolt out. It happens.
I ended up using a 24mm 12pt socket and 18 inch breaker bar. Locked it into a frame hole and turned the engine over. When I walk back around to check the bolt was out. I heated the bolt for two minutes with MAP gas. Now I can't find a puller to fit the balancer. Had to order one.
ok with the chevy! got it turning! Love and support
I appreciate the support
PUT THE HEAT ON EM 🔥🔥
Thanks. :)
You got that 🔥man ..🔥 🔥 man...Getter done Loco! 💪
I appreciate it bro. We gonna knock this out. Taking time to show everything that may help along the way.
I'm fighting a 05 acura mdx crank bolt I'm just gonna go the heat route it's been 4 days fighting it lol 😆
Map gas probably a better option. Just used what I had here. Should of never been this difficult 😂
You can tell the tools have the power they was turning the whole damn crank lol 😂
LSCHEVYRYDER254 Yeah impacts I used rated from 600-800 ft lbs. that bolt should of only been on with 230-250 range.
My impact is rated at 899ft lbs & the bolt laughed at it.
Moving the crank is nothing you can't easily do with just a ratchet.
Thx bro for the inspiration.
My new top of the dewalt food chain 1/2" impact just let me down.
It wouldn't budge this bolt.
So now I guess I'm gonna have to buy a torch.
No problem. Use Mapp Gas.
I had that same problem on my ls motor my first resort was the kobalt impact but it failed I had to go the heat route as well💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Yeah heat is a last resort, but both of the engine bolts didn’t wanna budge 😂
Good job 👍
I 👀👀👀👀 you Cat putting in that work bro lets go 2020!! 💯
Yup. Going big this year. Both engines should be completely torn down this week.
#facts
Parts came in, here I am at this step! Paying close attention lol. You just wouldn't give up lol
Fasho. Series continuing this week.
@@CatlocosGarage I'm just waiting on the cam to arrive
infamousnova Is this for ya Nova you had?
@@CatlocosGarage yep, still got it.
@@CatlocosGarage man I just knew my bolt was coming out with the impact, but man I gotta go.find a torch lol
I see you hard at it!
Gotta get these things built. Thanks man.
Watching and learning bro I’m gonna be giving it a shot soon💪🏾
Oh you got it man.
good job loco its good to keep some heat on deck
It's my last resort, but it works when needed.
@@CatlocosGarage no question
Motivation 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
I appreciate it.
Good shit
Ahh the ol heat torch on the balancer. My favorite technique 😜
I tried every impact I had. Last resort for me is heat, but this is a full rebuild.
@@CatlocosGarage Hey man, i do it all the time, thats the best way to get then balancer back on too!
Jovani Dante Griego I’ve seen people do that, but always worry about damaging or melting the main seals.
@@CatlocosGarage As long as the thing isnt glowing red youll be fine. Ive done it on at least 10 motors
@@JovaniDanteGriego I have the tool, but I may try it out.
Yeah bro those crank bolts can be a real pain but you did your thing
Thanks. Yeah I pulled out all the big guns with no results. Seals getting replaced so no big deal, Still in teardown mode.
I got lucky with mine I guess but I guess outcast took care of the motor I’m def gonna buy me one of those tanks for reinstallation though
I told you that thing didn’t t wanna budge. Got them off tho.
Thx
Nice work Bro
Thanks man
No problem 💯
Home Depot sells a torch nozzle that has a different flame pattern that puts out way more heat, cuts the time of using propane or mapp in half
Nice. I'll have to look for it. Thanks
Heat-1 bolt-0
🤣
Actually it was heat-2 bolt-0
🔥🔥
Appreciate it.
Catloco wins .
#motivation
😎😎😎
Thanks man
Heat and 1/2 drive pneumatic is my method. Same way I install too..
I was using 600-800 ft lb impacts. Crank is normally 230-250. It shouldn’t of been this difficult to get it off.
@@CatlocosGarage A pneumatic, even with with less ft/lb will make harder hits, the hammers in a pneumatic impact are usually larger and heavier than an electric impact.
Bruce L. Yeah I have a 60 gallon compressor in my garage. That probably would of been what I tried next. I thought about it. This worked tho.
I broke a few of my ratchets and almost broke my breaker bar trying to get my bolt of to do the timing belt its an 07 Saturn vue front wheel drive side engine is it safe to do this method on a newer engine i know those you have there are 302 or 305 or 350, I'm going to be reusing the balancer and bolt i just need it off for the timing belt replacement
👀👀👍🏽
Thanks bro. :)
Propane for the loss 🤣🤣🤣. Map gas is super faster and hotter. But fuck it, it worked tho.
Shorter sockets gives u more torque than a deep sockets
Good to know. None of my impacts would make it budge. I used what I had on me. Be like that sometime. :)
Give'em some act right 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goldie_box 🤣 That bolt was coming out one way or the other today.
How much did you pay for the 6.0 that you pulled from the junkyard?
Why are you burning it taking a chance on ruining a seal? When you can go to harbor freight buy a $100 Bauer electric heavy duty 1/2" corded wrench and get it off in seconds. Also use a bar or wood to go through the balancer to stop it from spinning
This is a full rebuild. All seals are being replaced. Why would I use a HF 1/2" when i'm trying a $800 SNAP-ON 1/2" impact? Which still failed btw :)
double dragons
I'm telling you. Can't wait.
heat did not work for me. That thing is stuck good...
Yeah mine was stuck on good. Mapp Gas works best. Just gotta be patient.
🍿🍿🍿
I was determined to win this battle. :)
@@CatlocosGarage never let them see you sweat!
Now question, if you leave the heads on and plugs in, when the motor gets compression in it, wouldn't that help stop the crank and break the bolt?
@@DjCBlaq It may help, but I think its just all the debris and crap inside this engine. It didn't help when I was removing the trans. I needed heat to break it loose. I'm trying to show everything that someone watching may encounter themselves. I'll show all my issues and how I solved them.
@@CatlocosGarage respect and thanks. Can't wait to get my LS. One just escaped me last week. $150 😖😖😖
@@DjCBlaq Appreciate it. I pulled my 6.0 for $190 and 5.3 for $109. 5.3s are abundant here and 6.0 you have to be lucky to find here.
That snap on weak ...dual swaps
Well this shit didnt work at all
