How to Remove Crank Shaft Pulley Bolt g37s / 370z

How to remove the crank bolt on the g37s or 370z (May work for other cars)
This is a method that I found to work with out having a powerful impact. I would definitely get the crank pulley bolt "red hot" tho. I have also seen people try and lock up their pully system with a ratchet straps.

U saved me with this one man. I luv u.

Remember kids, heat makes things expand and coolness shrinks things. If a bolt is tight, you heat it up to expand it and make it tighter, so you can take it out easier

[@qaSSimtheMWted]

That's what I thought too 😅

[@whose_ya_daddy5271]

I mean yeah, but it's most likely to break down the thread sealant (loctite) depending on what kind you get it has to hit a certain temp before it degrades and comes loose

[@bendover5371]

@whose_ya_daddy5271 sorry buddy, 10 hours to late. Just figured it out today, muahahahah. Na seriosly weird coincidence, even thought about the same comment.

I dont have a fuckin breaker bar. Will a goddamn breaker bar work?

[@SaintIvo]

Don’t say “god d*mn”. You’re breaking the 3rd commandment saying that. Repent for your sin and ask the lord to forgive you and he will

Gotta love that fucking baker bar mate!!

[@thesniperofcs]

What i do in such situations i stick a flat head screw driver in the flywheel to jam the crank shaft then i use the breaker bar to loosen the crank bolt

[@1mrsleepy1]

Heat is your best friend here!

[@Poaf-1]

I put a vice gripe on the flywheel

[@1MADZ]

Gotta do this

[@mikimiki195]

Great thanks

[@jeffhelton2735]

Definitely need to replace rubber seal.bad thing about doing this it destroy seal but maybe why he is removing it

[@TheChiefJudgeDredd]

Definitely happy you don’t work on my cars.
Such a trailer park mechanic

[@maxortega8073]

bro shut your bich ass up there really isn't a better way to do this. if you're not a mechanic shut your ass up. The only other way to do it if its stuck is to stick a breaker bar on it and get it jammed on some metal and crank the engine i hope your stupid ass doesn't work on cars cause the whole world of working on cars is mechanics trying to figure out janky ways of doing something cause often times you need to.

Mines a Honda. No holes in the fly wheel

[@stacywinter9245]

theres a tool that goes in the crankshaft to hold it

[@ashrose5923]

Yu realise this doesn't always work as heating the bolt will make it expand inside the thread

[@AMPTechGrade]

But then when it cools down, wouldn’t that help shrink it a bit?

[@chefboyardee8201]

Yes thats the point. the expansion brakes any rust or dirt free, and the heat melts whatever loctite could be on it

[@pablotv1148]

What size socket?

[@jdsinsured]

There is oil back there

[@TheCanadianBubba]

You took the nose off for this ?

[@AlucardYT111]

How did you tighten it

[@Flaming360Spider]

I'm guessing you use the pry bar to hold the pulley and tighten it.

[@manuelramos4608]

Same way how you took it out, just place the pry bar on opposite side when tighten

[@brandonnikicevic2314]

What’s the torque?

[@nicholasmahony9669]

🤦‍♂️ don’t do this guys.
If you heat the bolt more likely to break
