Anybody have a Big M'Fer breaker bar?

Magoo · 12-05-2007, 07:33 PM

I bought a lower pulley and know that the current 1/2 ratchet that I have won't be enough to break the crank pulley loose. Does anybody have a big ass breaker bar, or a pipe I can use to get some leverage for this crank pulley?

Where do you live? I have a breaker bar and a jack handle that has worked great for that job. Also hae a puller if you need it. I live in Goose Creek if you wanna swing by.

I have used my jack handle over my 1/2" breaker bar before. Works pretty good. If you need one let me know.

Edit:
Jay beat me to it.

I just cut up my breaker bar aka THE PIPE to make a dust pan. lol

Thanks guys! Jay I'd really appreciate it, I live in Summerville. I have the day off on Friday and was thinking of tackling this thing then, anywhere I can meet you between now and then to borrow them?

LXtasy · 12-05-2007, 08:42 PM

Magoo. You could also give my dad a call. I am sure he has something that would help you out. You know where he lives. lol

Put the breaker bar against the frame, Listen now put the car in gear rock it back to get some slack and push the car it will break it right loose> Easer way give it some slack make sure no fuel ( Remove Fuse and turn over the starter ) Works everytime!! Mitch Note Need a Snap-on breaker bar thought I have one. I also have a 750 ft lb Impact wrench if all else fails... Mitch

Thanks for the tips Mitch but we got it yesterday after removing the fan and coolant tanks and pulled from the top using some good ole man power! But truth be told I think I was about 3 minutes shy of giving up!

05Saleen · 12-08-2007, 09:40 AM

Did it have locktite on it???

Magoo · 12-08-2007, 09:42 AM

I'm sure it did, it was the factory pulley. It did have almost 5 years and 52000 miles on it when I tried to break it loose so I'm sure that didn't help....
