I see myself or Tony flying into the windshield of my car while trying to remove the bolt....I thought he was going to fly into it last weekend but alas, no luck....I'll certainly have the video camera rolling on our next attempt. :laugh_ti:

BTW, anyone have a spare Crank Bolt laying around just in case my current one gets destroyed?

Yeah man, if you don't have a cam, I do. I predict something hilarious happening, thats for sure!

Better ask about a windshield too while you're at it dude!

If you follow the instructions I PM'd you, no one will go flying anywhere. The whole key to removing that bolt is a lot of torque, instantly. Follow the instructions, especially the part about the motor mount.

I got the MASSIVE tool today....if this doesn't get it off, I have no idea what will...

Guys, seriously, this thing is a heavy duty SOB that Tom sent. Chains on the front motor mount is going to be a necessity.

I'll give everyone an update (and some video) as soon as SHO_ROLLER can get a few free moments to help me out. He's a very busy guy and greatly appreciate all his help.

I'm thinking this might be a forum record for a stuck crank damper bolt: Three pages and 69 posts. If the force of all the typed keystrokes could be combined and applied to that bolt, it would be loose by now.

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE USED ALL CAPS?

Out, damn'd bolt! Out, I say! (Apologies to the Bard and Lady Macbeth...)

Your probably right, if only we could combine the force, it would probably have popped right off by now.

This weekend one of 2 things are going to happen either a) Tom's tool works and I move forward with the front 60K or b) something really bad is going to happen to that crank bolt.

At least something is going to happen while using your big tool!

This time, I want some beers *****!

I told you when you first got there, mi casa su casa.

Help yourself, I know you know where the fridge is.

Besides, I'm a mortgage broker, not a bar tender

Somebody probably used jb weld instead of locktite the last time it was off..........hahah

Seriously, please don't say things like that...I would be ready to light it on fire and roll it down a hill if that were the case.

at that point would you trade it for a coupe deville?

God, let's hope not.

Seriously though, no need for any thread locker on these threads, if anything, make sure the bolt threads and the crank internal threads are clean. At re-assembly, lightly oil the bolt threads, torque to spec. It's also important that the crank be held rigidly, or the bolt will be under-torqued.

This is the same problem folks get themselves into when torquing SHO flywheel and clutch cover bolts - they think they're manly enough to hold the flywheel with their free arm, and even though these bolt torque specs are fairly low, the non-rigid retention of the flywheel means the bolts don't get the proper torque. This is why clutch cover bolts back out within 50 miles of a new clutch install. Use a flywheel holding tool, or gin one up, but hold the flywheel rigidly, not with your arm.
