Twisted Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hey guys having a little drama. Doing a timing belt change and I've gotten to the crankshaft bolt removal and it's so f-ing tight. Tried an air gun on it and that's not working. Biggest problem I have is I can't lock the pully. I've been following the how to cam belt removal guide but it's not clear how the locking tool attaches. I have all the means to be able to make a tool. Anyone have a picture/specs of a locking tool? Anyone have any tricks to getting this bolt off? Thank you in advance Tristan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Get a breaker bar with a socket on the end. Put it on the bolt, with the handle touching the floor on the PASSENGER side, use an extension if you have to. Crank the engine but DO NOT LET IT START!!!!!!!!!!! That is a last resort though really.

Twisted Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thank you but trying to avoid having to do that :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not that you need the picture but this is what my crankpully looks like. Those recesses are really shallow and bolts will just slip out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Pretty sure on mine we just locked the crank from the gearbox end, theres a rubber cover in the bell housing you can remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have a auto by the way. I'm not sure if that affects the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) You could make something like this The starter motors meant to start the engine not undo bolts that are torqued up to 243 ft lbs Just google crank pulley holding tool mkiv supra Edited March 8, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Those "shallow holes" are balancing drill indents The drilled and tapped holes are in the centre section of the damper, just outboard of the bolt washer, on a much smaller PCD. 8mm x 1.25 mm thread. Run a tap down them before attempting to put bolts in. Bolt the tool up with high tensile bolts. Sounds a lot of hassle? Just use the breaker bar on the chassis or floor and crank the engine. Personally I'd let the firing stroke potentially help and leave it able to start. If it does run for a few seconds you just find the breaker, socket and bolt on the floor, no big deal... These DIY jobs show you lot why garages charge a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I see it's an auto. If the rads out join the two transmission cooler pipes, as if it starts it will pump out a lot of TQF, quite rapidly otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Cheers for the info Chris. Sorted it now anyway. Held the flywheel in place and it cracked off no problem. Trying to hold it at the front just didn't work. Wasn't too confident with turning it over with all the stuff un-attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
