that hinders your maintenance projects

I'm replacing the currently frayed alternator belt and the pivot bolt won't break loose. PB Blasted it - nothing. No breaker bars, only rachets that are useless without good leverage (not much room between the pivot bolt, axle, lca and ground). The only pipe I can use is a plastic pipe but that just bends and I don't want to round this bolt off.

Arg.

 

smack the wrench with a hammer :dunno:

lightly....it will break loose eventually.

 

use the jack bar as a breaker bar>??

 

I have a short extension on there that would just make the socket jump off the bolt.

 

Too small a diameter to fit over the rachet handle.

 

you have one of those pussy jacks?

 

Yup, and the driveway material is so soft that wheels sink into it.

 

concrete > asphalt

 

ok now ill try to help. can you put a wrench on the end of the wratchet so you can lengthen the moment arm?

 

i hate that. i'm cleaning my carbs and there's one nut that doesn't want to come off for the linkage.
