hey guys,

Wondering if anyone might have a ring gear stopper for an rb26 I could borrow?

I've tried everything I can think of to crack this crank bolt.. It ain't coming off.

I've tried:

3m breaker bar trans in 4th

wooden block on chasis rail then cranking the starter

breaker bar tensioned then belting it with a 1kg hammer

holding the fly in place using two flat end screwdrivers

couldn't fit a rattle gun without moving the condensor...

I'm finding it difficult to get enough of a sudden jolt onto the crank bolt, hoping if I can hold the in place I might be able to crack it with my breaker bar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I found it easy to do it this way.

1. Take out radiator and Clutch fan

2. Put car in 5th, so it is over a 1:1 ratio

3. Put correct size socket with breaker bar onto the bolt

4. Hop in the engine bay and jump up and down on the breaker bar

...worked for me :P

I have heard of people making sure the end of the breaker bar is on the ground and then turning the engine over...but that is a rather bad way of doing it I would say.

Hey Aberax,

Cheers for the suggestion, however I can't seem to get enough of a sudden shock while using this method. My crank simply turns over, mind you this is with the vehicle on a set of ramps, hand brake up and back wheels chocked. I really need to lock the flywheel then use this method.. ;(

It's on there BLOODY tight... That's for sure.

You need one of those tools that you hit with a hammer. I ended up having to buy one for the same bolt. Cost me over $100 but does it easy. I'll see if i can find a pic.....

One of these. They say they can generate 500nm of torque, I say they aren't using a big enough hammer. You will be able to undo it with the car out of gear so you will avoid putting load through the drive train.

I may lend it out for liquid renumeration

When I had my 100,000km service done, we used a breaker bar against the chassis. My battery wasn't enough to do the job, but his big ass BMW battery (I think from a 4WD) loosened it first try

Yea Ive got a 550CCA battery if that method was going to work im sure it would have after the first 5 > 10 tries :)

There is a really easy way of doing it,

Socket and breaker bar on crank bolt, place it so the handle of the breaker bar is leaning against the chasis rail/inner well on the undo side or as close to as possible, disconnect your ignition system (unplug coilpack loom), give it a quick short crank with the key, Presto!! Starter motor does all the muscle work for you :)

Y not go the slip knot rig? Easy as pie! And costs f**k all!

Old bike tube cut up, slip knot done to tighten itself as your pulling.

Breaker bar, i cut down a no parking sign out the front of my house for added leverage ;)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
