Removing the dampner bolt.

[shovhd]

Ok, time for the dumb question of the day. How do I get the dampner bolt off without the crank spinning? I could wedge something in the crank and use the impact, but would that screw something up? :tard:

usually you dont have to wedge something in the crank if you are using the impact gun...the impact gun should spin it right off...

Impact, if needed, shove a piece of wood in flywheel/ plate. and wedge it.

Oh, and this post ain't in the right place.

I use a chain. Take the crank pulley off and hook up a chain to one of those pulley bolt holes. The other end of the chain gets hook to the frame. Then you can crank away. Works great to loosen or tighten

A breaker bar resting on the frame rail and bump the starter, works every time.

Oops, I guess I should have added that the engine is on a stand with the heads and pan off already.

Thanks for the answers. I like the wood idea.
