taking everything off to get to it...

you'll need a crank puller kit ($30-$50)

have to remove the radiator (drain the coolant first), and remove all belts

not too hard but time consuming. be careful that you dont screw up your timing :D

I have removed everyting. I thought its simply use 27mm socket but that just turn the crank. Thanks. I will give it a go buying a puller kit tomorrow.

o yeah.. um to get that crank nut off there is a variety of tricks that people use...

now i'm not reccomending or taking any responsibility, but some people just get someone to jam on the brakes while u take off the nut. others put a big breaker bar on it and move the handle so its touching the ground (while on the nut), -then you blip the starter. or you can use an impact socket device thing. or a rattle gun :)

you need to use your brain for this one, make sure the breaker bar is levering on the correct side of the motor (resting on the ground on the exhaust side of the harmonic balancer). i heard of an apprentice using the wrong side as a lever. the breaker bar swing right around the motor and took out the power steering pump as well as bent the breaker. at least the bolt came loose.

hahahaha that's hilarious, i heard the same thing except someone got hit in the face with it, got a fat lip and broke a tooth, could've been worse though :)

I use the passenger side chassis rail with my breaker, but that's only because mine is on axle stands and I didn't want it moving, only took round 2-3 small cranks, i think it was loose by the first, but the other two helped undo the bolts

then get a steering wheel puller or hamonic balancer puller from supercheap, they are round $20

don't use the pullers with two to three arms that lock round the pulley rings, they usually end up breaking the pulley, the supercheap one screws into the two holes on the inside of the balancer, then it has a large bolt which goes through the middle and pushes the pulley out while undoing the crank bolt

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
