Rb26dett Harmonic Balancer Bolt Removed

[Jamo30]

Could some please tell me what is the best and easiet way on how to remove this stubburn bolt. Cant get it off...

[XRATED]

Rattle gun...

[Sarumatix]

erm... believe it or not.. the way if I got one off.. was to attached the 27mm or whatever it is socket on to a breaker, cabled tied onto a large plank which rests on the ground. Then, crank the engine . Make sure the CAS or immobiliser is done so the engine wont start .

[Jamo30]

Thanks for all you reply. I tried that still wont come off. I even used an oxy and still wont come off... might have to use a Rattle gun like XRATED said..its my last resort...

The only issue is i have to take the condensor out and maybe the front bar also..

Long breaker bar with long pipe over it to lengthen it more- have the car in 4th gear and someone with their foot on the brake while you lever it.

yeah if unable to undo it you'll need to get a long breaker or breaker and jack handle and brace against the chassis rail or on the ground like sarumatix said then use the starter to get it loose.

Use some WD40 lol.

Exactly what i did to crack mine, use a bit of exhaust pipe

thats a bloody good idea actually !! mine must have already been loose cos it came off with one hard crack with a breaker bar.

you used a oxy before using a rattle gun.... dude a oxy should be last resort......

same as i was thinking, the balancer would heat up before the bolt i reckon
