so I have a 22re crank shaft pulley bolt ive been fighting with. I already used a long braker bar and broke my socket I used a 1/4" drive as well.. so whats the best way to go about this problem.. motor is pulled out of the yota.
thanks for your response ahead of time.

Yes typo error.
Correction: 1/2" socket and it is a 19 mm.

 

At this point you need to use either a good 1/2" impact

Build a tool to keep the crank from turning .

At this point with the engine out your going to want to have help.

Is the engine on a stand or hanging ??

Just how did you break a socket ??

Did you use a impact socket ??

You were turning the correct direction??

 

No way are you getting it out with a 1/4" drive. You need 1/2 drive. I had a motor that I had to take to where they had a 1/2 inch air hose and Impact wrench to break that bolt loose. The local shop did not charge anything just to use their Impact and break it loose. It was a hassel to load it up but is how I had to do it.

 

I think the 1/4" drive was a typo I hope they meant 3/4" drive

 

True, it's hard to imagine you could get a 19mm 1/4" socket.

I pulled mine in the truck using the starter bump method, but reinstalled out of the truck using a long New Britain chain wrench with the pulley well-wrapped in an old t-shirt to prevent damage. It didn't slip or damage the pulley at all and I was able to easily tighten it to 116 ft/lbs with a long breaker bar. I imagine if you can't get a strong impact driver to it, this method would work well.

 

Lock the crank in place, chain and bolts at the rear, craft the SST, or 2x4 *cringe* inside the block between the crank.

3/4 inch breaker bar, 19mm impact socket.
Place the bar at around 6 o'clock reference, put your feet against the bottom of the engine stand and GET to work.

I hate braking these loose on auto transmissions. Just like everybody else I'm sure.

 

You can pull the oil pan and wedge a piece of wood i.e.: hammer handle, cut down 2x4 etc, between the crank and side of the engine block. Then use a breaker bar with a cheater pipe on it or a big impact.

 

it was a typo error! My bad. And it was 1/2" drive 19mm socket that split right down the socket. I was going the correct direction. I'm going to try the impact today if I get the different ways to go about it it's much appreciated. Also I'm wanting a lift done. What is the best, most cost efficient way to get that done?

 

I have a new block I'm putting all the other parts on from the original block that was in my total when I bought it. It's a shot block garbage after I take everything off it. Two good size holes on both sides of the block. It's sitting on my garage floor Right now. For some strange reason I was able to get it to bolt on to my motor stand when I removed it from the runner. Could be I was doing it on my own with no cherry picker and to stubborn to call someone to help. I did come up with a easy way to keep the pistons from turning while I tried loosening that bolt.
