i wish i had one. all my 1/2in sockets are 12pt

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #91 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:54:07 PM »

damn, yeah i will only use 6 point on major stuff like that, now its a matter of firguring out a way to get it off!!!! i've used a die grinder and took each side down a little bit and fit an 18mm!!! its very doable!!!

jrock · « **Reply #92 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 01:59:51 PM »

i don't think i can get one in there. on another post, someone had the same issue. ppl recomended he weld a new nut on the old bolt, the heat would also break the bolt loose.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #93 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 02:04:21 PM »

yep, weld the nut on there and that thing should pop right off!!!

jrock · « **Reply #94 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 02:06:58 PM »

There's a Harbor Freight in STockton.

Get some cheap 6 sided impact sockets.

i.e.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #102 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 03:48:13 PM »

then tap it on

jrock · « **Reply #103 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 03:53:52 PM »

That's a plan but i will still need to hit it with an impact, a torch or both. That thing is stuck.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #104 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 04:13:09 PM »

impact!!

Don't need it.

Put the bar in the same position & use the starter to break it free. The 6 point socket will make the difference.

If you want to use an impact gun & you have a good compressor & an impact gun you might be able to get it off. You will have to remove the radiator bolts, slide the radiator up & support it, then you will have enough room to get the gun in there. You don't have to drain or remove the radiator hoses to do this.

exactly what he said, my impact would spin that basterd off so fast itd make your head spin but the 6 point is the key!!

jimbo74 · « **Reply #107 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:24:50 PM »

if you can come during the week i can help. the radiator doesnt need to come out

jrock · « **Reply #108 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:27:23 PM »

I tried the starter method and i got nothing. The engine would turn and the breaker bar would stop it. I did it like 8 times and then got under the truck and started kicking the bar with two legs and that's when i striped the head.
Jim, i wont be in your area for a while.

Thats cause the socket wasn't on there straight, thats how it got stripped. 6 point socket

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #110 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:31:25 PM »

yup!!! more contact area!!

jrock · « **Reply #111 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:34:03 PM »

I tried my best to keep it straight, i would reset it before every bump or kick but yeah, at some point it got messed up. But I was surprised the starter couldn't break it free.

jimbo74 · « **Reply #112 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:37:34 PM »

could also try an 18 or 17 mm 12 pt and hammer it on. i remove wheel locks like that if i cant find the key

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #113 on:** Feb 24, 2008, 07:42:21 PM »

yeah, i wouldnt pound too much on the crank though, those thrust bearings do not like that at all!!!

jrock · « **Reply #114 on:** Mar 13, 2008, 09:14:33 AM »

It is fixed. Finally.

Thanks to Jimbo's pipe-ficegrips.

boobap · « **Reply #115 on:** Mar 19, 2008, 02:35:38 PM »

the leak that developed on my 81 was due to the seal wearing a grove into the crank. I had to put a "seal saver" onto the crank. then put a new seal into the oil pump. i ordered the felpro kit with the seal saver (only goes on one way!!!). it was much cheaper then buying the seal saver and the OEM oil pump seal separately. thats my

kneedownnate · « **Reply #116 on:** Mar 19, 2008, 05:24:43 PM »

How much did that end up costing? I think the factory toyota seal and oil pump o-ring are less than $20 and are better quality.

herpestes · « **Reply #117 on:** Mar 19, 2008, 09:46:58 PM »

may need to check the balancer where the front seal rides against the balancer shaft. There is a sleeve that is sold that goes on the balancer and covers the groove.

I just positioned the OEM seal so that the lip would be in a slightly different spot.............

(didn't have a groove, but you could tell where the lip was)
