- My first suggestion is to use an impact wrench. If that doesn't work, try this...Put the breaker bar on the nut. Make sure it is wedged firmly at 90 degree angles and turn the engine over. Observe th

- How does one such as I go about removing the nut on the crankshaft pulley on my 73 Midget? Better yet, where might I get a socket large enough. I think it's 1- 5/16" but I can't find one anywhere. Th

- Hitting a breaker bar with a 3-pound hammer should knock it loose, but impact is easier. I had my engine out and the pan off so I was able to block the crank and just turn with the 2 foot long breake

- Hi Tyson, Everyone told you where to get the sockets, but few told you how to get the nut off. If the engine is out, the only way is with a BIG air gun. If it's in the car still, put the socket on a
