If its for an RB or most other vehicles, remove the enginetrans braces and bellhousing dust cover, then lay large flatblade screw driver along the pan rail engaging the ring gear teeth.

Use the best fitting screw driver to prevent damage to the ring gear. Passenger side to undo, drivers side to tighten. Much easier than removing starter and fitting ring gear lock, IF you can find one to fit.

if ur feeling game then u can use a long breaker bar and the appropriate socket rest it on the chassis and tap the starter it should b enough 2 crack the bolt enough 2 undo it. I have done this a few times being an apprentice mechinac when in tight spots 2 get a rattle gun in there.

are you sure you are trying to undo it in the right direction? How can that not work?

I have done that on a few motors (but I used a loooong breaker bar and rested it on the ground) including a high comp 308 and it worked :P

some of those flywheel bolts are on there mentally tight and usually are loctited in there

thats lock tight .. not loc tit.

you can get breaker bars in a variety of lengths for around $40 all up

like the ones here

but yeah as the others have said maybe try a longer breaker bar?

It doesn`t work because the bolt is done up to 450nm , the starter motor is only designed to turn over the motor

The problem is that the clutch starts to slip it not that i cant get enough torque on the bolt

The right direction ???? if i didn`t know what direction was undo do u think i would try to change the timing belt

The starter will work but you have to give it some slack, no point leaning it againiest the rail and then hit it ..

Give it a fair bit of slack say 400 mm put a block of wood on the rail where you expect it to hit , then hit the starter, it should work, make sure you use a solid bar not one with a ratchet and make sure you have a fully charged battery.

^^^^^

it didn`t work , i dont want this turning into another how to undo the crank bolt thread there is like 50 of them already i was just seeing if i could get a ring gear stopper so i didn`t have to re-gas the air con.

I tried one of them "power drive" things no good , with a breaker bar i pulled the car over a wheel chock with the handbrake on , i then chocked all the wheels and the clutch would then slip

Time for a new clutch ???? If you can't get it undone with the starter trick ( provided you don't lean it on the rail and expect the starter to undo it) you better have a huge rattle gun . I have a ring gear stopper but I don't think it would help you . I only ever used it when the motor is out of the car and only when my 3/4" rattle gun wouldn't undo it . Then I used the stopper and a huge 3/4" drive breaker bar with a pipe at the end .

The trick with the starter is to have a long bar and make sure you have some slack and make it so the end of the bar hits, don't expect to have much grunt near the socket..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
