RE: Removing crank bolt with starter lug

Gale,

A larget socket would obviuosly be nice, but I use a vise-grip locked
around the area
that sticks out of the crank pully.

Put the car in 4th gear with the e-brake on "This locks the engine".
A carefull whack with a lead hammer in the counter-clockwise direction
will likely unlock the bolt.

Find a correct fitting socket, cause you'll need it for tightening the
bolt to the 160 to 180 lb ft spec. later.

Good luck!

Jarrid
