put the tranny in reverse and get a longer breaker bar!!!!! impact takes away the split knuckles and headaches!!!

I would love an impact but thats too easy. My truck isn't tall enough for a 3ft bar, I was trying it. Im out to get a shorter bar, ~2ft.

Could someone wall me thru the bumping the starter method. please.

Set the bar up so its end is on the ground or wedged against something solid.

Bump the starter or push the truck forward while it's in gear (1st gear, low if you're pushing truck).

You can also have the breaker bar exit thru the bottom and use your legs to push against it (while sitting on ground)

My thoughts exactly. The new bar better work, There is no space for an impact.

It didn't work. My Ebrake set, 5th gear, 24in breaker bar, my 2 legs. I think the clutch is slipping. I the engine is turning when I torque on it.
How do I block the engine?

Pull the coil wire off at the dist. Put your bar about 2" from the bottom side of the driverside of the frame. Crank the starter & it should break free.

To torque the bolt, put the truck in 5th gear.

That sound scary to me.

Bumping the starter works fine. I know it sounds freaky but it works...

86bobbedtoy · « **Reply #71 on:** Feb 23, 2008, 08:40:42 PM »

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #72 on:** Feb 23, 2008, 09:43:40 PM »

once she breaks loose itll all be good!!!!

jrock · « **Reply #75 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 12:43:26 AM »

i hope. but probably.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:05:11 AM »

sometimes appying a little heat then letting it cool and then trying it will help break it loose!!!

jrock · « **Reply #77 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:08:56 AM »

I really should get myself more tools. I don't evey have a torch.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #78 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:14:12 AM »

i just invested in about $9000-10000 worth of Snap On stuff..... but its only costin me $5000 through the school since i am in the Automotive Technology program! having the right tools makes your life soo much easier, and i know that nobody can argue with me on that statement!!

That's sweet. I hope you do it. It's nice to know what you WANT and know how to get it. Good luck with it.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:28:51 AM »

yeah, its nice!! it took a while for it to click but..... when it did i knew thats where i was going and what i love!! toyota's are just vehicles.... its a life style!!!! my dad bought his 89 brand new and i bought it after it had 330,000 on it, and rebuilt the whole damn thing then it got rolld on black ice!! after that, parts started acumulating!!! I'm also in the process of starting my own 4wheel drive club!! wanna guess the name of it??

jrock · « **Reply #83 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 11:45:49 AM »

T4DC, Twisted 4wheel Drive Club. haha

Well I did the starter bump and a bunch of leg pushing and i was able to strip the head. I'm proud. I was able to shear the corners off the bolt.
Anyone in the Stockton/ Sac area with a welder willing to help?

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #84 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 12:16:43 PM »

DAMN!!!!! that blows, i hate stripped bolts, some stripped things are good though!!! HA!! i would get a pair vice grips, a GOOD PAIR, clamp that freaker on there tight put a bar on it and to the frame, make sure its all on there good and crank the engine, just for a second or two though, trust me you really dont want to weld on such vital areas..... weakins things!!!

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #87 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:39:43 PM »

jrock · « **Reply #88 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:46:25 PM »

12 pt 3/4in on a 1/2 chuck
.75in x 25.4 = 19mm

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #89 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:49:16 PM »
