I use a 33mm on a 1/2 inch drive and a bar approx 3 feet long.

Put it in to gear, hand brake on and get some one to put their foot on the
brakes - it'll go eventually... if the engine is out the car good luck.

- if you're uk come and borrow mine.

Any ideas on the best way to remove the rather large (1 3/4" maybe) nut on
the end the the crankshaft of my '72 ?? Is it 1 3/4", do they make a socket
to fit a 1/2" drive or do you have to go to 3/4" ??

Not even going to ask why it's so large, must be to handle all the hp and
torque !! <VBG>

Thanks,   Ken C
