[Shotimes] crank bolt ?

[Devin Fisher]

I had a crank pulley bolt that wouldn't come off after a good wrench and a
crappy compressor over the course of a half an hour. Cheater bar wouldn't
work either. My friend's dad finally stuck a 2 x 4 in the crankshaft between
the rods to keep it from turning, stood on a cheater bar and had his son hit
it with a sledge hammer. It was off in about 2 minutes. Crazy stuff people
do...

This is what I did

Position the engine inside of a tire with the crank
pulley resting on the sidewall. In this case, the
tire's sidewall will provide some resistance against
the crank pulley. Use a 30mm socket, 1/2" wrench and
the longest pipe that you can find as a cheater bar.
It will take a few tries but if I did it, you can do
it. :)

I may have also stood on the pipe a few times. I
almost fell off and killed myself. Use your own
discretion. :)
