PB Blaster + heat = the win

I've never had a problem using a big breaker bar though...never needed the heat.

 

I am anti-heat. I don't like torches near my crank h:

 

Werd. Lemme know how it goes. I might have some time to spare Sunday mid-morning if you need some help

Except when you're smoking it h:

yeah i dont want to drop 30-50 bucks on a torch that i'll only use once. i've already dumped the 30 bucks on the crank tool. i'd rather just buy a set of 1/2" extensions

not a big deal per se, but for something i'm only using once, i'd rather not. when i've ran into this problem in the past, i used to just drive 30 miles to my old school and borrow my old professors big ass impact gun. i wanted to avoid that this time.

we'll see what happens tomorrow, i'll see if my brother can help me out too.

thanks for the input guys. chef, i'll let u know, thanks for offering your time.

 

doing a timing belt?

 

Try slipping your jack handle over the end of the breaker bar...more leverage.

 

actually i'm trying to diagnose CEL 54 for the CKF sensor. I want to make sure whatever's in there is clean. The resistance across the sensor contacts is within spec but it looks like theres a lot of grime and crap from a prior CV boot failure in the general vicinity.

i did that, but no angle with the car being so close to the ground. i'll do it for sure when i get some good 1/2" extensions on there, like that youtube vid had.

 

werdizzle. For one of my axle nuts I had to disassemble my engine hoist and use one of it's arms (think 6-foot long, 60 pound steel box tube) as a breaker bar. When in doubt, more leverage. h:

 

at this poiint i dont think its about leverage, its just getting a clean angle.

 

isn't that at the oil pump behind the cam covers?
