Lol...reminds me of the old saying " hold my beer and watch this"....always ends up funny, or not and life threating

 

soooooooo,

to anyone reading this and wondering if the reverse procedure works...well I'm gonna tell you it does.


hooked up in the reverse direction to install the new bolt (looks kinda familiar, eh?)



that didn't help, so I dug into the "make a tourniquet" trick and used my medium torque wrench to give it that extra grab....using my foot to hold it twisted....i guess I'm still flexible.



and again, with an unimpressive "CLICK"...116ft/lbs was achieved (and checked) and achieved again.

 

Dude that is an impressive web of mess there boy...

 

looks like it, but it's not. tied off, looped around twice and tied off again, and then a little "tourniquet" twist and bada-bing, bada-boom, it was done.

 

just a heads up i dont know if this thread is still active or anything.. but the starter bump method does work with the head off.

 

The breakerbar/tap the starter was the only way to get the crank pulley bolt off the old Fiat X19's, no room for an impact . Yeah, I'm that old. On the Toyotas, I just fire up my IR air compressor and use the 1/2 impact gun with a swivel socket.
