TIGHT CRANK BOLT
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:01 am
Change the timing belt & seals on the Vit the other day and had all sorts of problems cracking the crank bolt to change the seal.
After the 12" bar + extention tube and the rattle gun failed it was a Ph call to my mate Dave, X Toyota Tech Man .......Oh simple, Westie get a socket and bar on it and anchor it to something soild, Disable motor ( remove HT lead or similar)and HIT THE STARTER.
YEP the power of the starter had that sucker loose in the blink of an eye.
Hope this helps next time you have tight NUTS
