You should have asked us while it was in the shop Brendan

Place 30mm socket on pulley nut with LOOOOONNNGG bar on LH chassis rail and then hit the key...

Ooops, that's right, no wiring...

Hmmmmm

Remove Rad and get decent rattle gun...

Cheers

yea if i knew it was gona be this hard i would of got you guys to do it

[BigMicky]

You would need an awesome rattle gun to do this nut. mine wouldnt do it.

Socket, crack bar, 1.5m extension and lean on it hard. They are bloody tight!!!!!

[Driver]

i already bent my socket thingie into a U shape

just to get it right...

im stiking the car into 5th? stick the handbrake up hard and try loosen it

[BigMicky]

stronger crack bar required. you need one that wont bend too much. mine now has a custom 15 degree bend in it from when I did my front bolt!!!!

[Driver]

yea im using my stronger one now with a big ass bar and it still wont budge

i needa get angry then give it a shot

hehe

[BigMicky]

bigger bar + anger = bent big bar or success

Spray heaps of CRC on it leave it for few days

Even when the bolt is out removing the Pulley can still be a nightmare!

[BigMicky]

Yo driver, you got that bolt undone yet???

[Driver]

well i got angry and gave it a shot.

i broke the damn ratchet thiing!

all the gear things inside now rattle around

so i bort a bar one from repco and i cant even get it to budge using that and a pole!

[BigMicky]

I said a crack bar, not a ratchet!!!!!

now really get angry and jerk it!!!!!

(the crack bar that is)

You will need a a heavy duty 3/4 " breaker bar and 3/4 " socket .

If the starter is still in you can try the starter trick but still beed 3/4 bar not 1/2 ".

Its easy on a stand but in the car you have to remove the air cond condenser to use a rattle gun and you will need a 3/4 " gun , 1/2 " won't do it .

[JH32]

Oh ok cool, cheers

Can you hire rattle guns or would I get a mobile mechanic to come around to bust it off for me?

[wrxhoon]

not a good idea to use a rattle gun if engine still in the car , you have to remove the air cond condenser and you will loose the gas !

Just use a 3/4 breaker bar and i think 27mm 3/4 socket for your gts .
