Stuck bolts are such a pain! I took a spindle nut (36mm i think) off of an Accord axle once that required a 3/4" drive socket. I put a cheater pipe on it (about 36" or longer), stood on the end, and jumped until the handle bent and then it finally came off! Probably took 750 ft-lb of so...

Good luck with it! Tenacity will win the day!

Yes we got slammed by the storm! It was weird cause it missed NorCal, and came in and nailed us? Free water! woohoo!

Yep, WOOT, WOOT, ...free water, my vegetation LOVES IT! lol.... Far as the bolt, you're meaning the most forward pulley on your Crank Pulley Assembly, eh? Well, then HECK, get grindin! lol.

Seriously, can't wait to see the pics or whatever where you say "IT'S OFF!" ..... Best wishes, Baja,

Here is the thread I used a couple of years ago when I was having trouble. This will give you a better visual about what needs to be done to get that thing off. It saved me so much time and patience.

Good luck
