taking the crank bolt off the pully when its stripped? And the whole starter trick broke a ratchet and a socket so that wasnt getting me very far.

Im pissed. Went to do the front main seal and tried to get the bolt off the pully and thought itd take llike a half hr at most and ended up working an hr and a half trying to get that damn bolt off and it didnt do a damn thing...

threads stripped or the head stripped?

Mistaken · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 04:05:49 PM »

if the head is stripped, i would weld another nut to it and buy a new bolt when your done.

lilbuddy · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 04:09:08 PM »

Head is stripped...

I wannt to do that but the only problem is that if its breaking my ratchets, will it even come off? Im gettin pretty upset.

It looks like some d-bag put silicone on the threads and thats why its not doin a damn thing when i try to get it off

Mistaken · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 04:12:57 PM »

get one of those long ratchets about 2feet long that flip 180* instead of ratcheting.
don't know the right term for it, i hope it makes sense.

Wouldn't think silicone on the threads would make it that hard to remove... Red Loctite, maybe

But if you are breaking tools, maybe better tools are in order? Not trying to be a smart

, ... Most of my tools are Craftsman (bought my original set 40 years ago), and breakage has not been a problem. I've used cheater pipes on the ratchets quite a few times -- gives you a lot more leverage.

Good luck, hope you get it off!

I think you're talking about a breaker bar.

weld another nut then try a little heat and some kind of break free.

i had the same problem with the one on my celica Chris, somebody used red loctite if its busted good tools

get a torch or weld a big nut on there the heat from welding the nut on will break the loctite loose

87toyota · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 05:31:56 PM »

You could do all that welding mess, or you can take a grinder with a cutoff wheel and cut the washer part off the outside of the bolt. This will relive the pressure on it. Then buy a new bolt.

um NO if red loctite was used ONLY heat and LOTS of it will make it come loose

and i dont know how you would get a grinder up in there to cut the "washer" part off anyway, the motor is still in his truck

He never said red locktite was used. He said silicone. I had one That kept braking sockets. I called an old man to ask what to do. We unbolted the front part of the pully. Cut the outside off of the bolt. Then it came off by hand.

lilbuddy · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 08:29:26 PM »

I have no idea what it is on there to tell you the truth. There is silicon on the outside of the washer point...

Its ridiculous how stuck it is on there.

It was a pos ratchet that broke and a craftsman socket. yes i was using a cheater bar with a 1x1 sq tube on it

fordh8r · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 10:02:50 PM »

If it's not too boogered up yet you might wanna use a six point impact socket on it with your ratchet or breaker bar. Oh, be sure to use at least 1/2 in dr. and if it's that stuck maybe 3/4 dr will be better. It should pop loose with a bump of the starter and maybe some heat as well. Good luck with that!

Im with Glen heat that sucker up with a tourch and try again, this time use your big boy muscles

If that dont work scrap it and give me the pink slip and Ill do it

kneedownnate · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 10:37:07 PM »

Beat a smaller junker socket on it and hit it with an impact, if you can get one in there. Don't know why somebody would put anything on there, they torque to like 116ft lbs.

I am goin to try to weld a nut on it and redo it at chris's dads shop this week sometime...

May still need that breaker bar though. Probably with like a... i dont even know what size socket because i dont know what size nut im going to use.

I dont even have a spare bolt to use for the crank

a lil propane torch would be a good heat source to heat up the substance holding that nut on if the welding doesnt do the trick, but i dont see how it couldnt
