td4 crank pulley bolt

right parts arrived for the td4 crank pulley job today all was going well until we got the crank pulley bolt

OMG what a Tw*t


we have had a 1/2" impact gun not touched it we have had a 2 and a 3ft bar and still it will not move

Try it with the engine warmed up..

we have tried a
turning the engine over with a bar
impact wrench
a air wrench
3ft bar

all it does is turn the brakes and we put a bar between the studs and all it did was dig a hole in the road this was also while we had 2 feet pressing hard on the brake

I know from auto data tightening torque is 100nm. Followed by 60 deg, 60deg then 30deg undoing, try a longer breaker bar

It is standard thread, not reverse too

we cant we are either turning it or damaging the road

seems to be a royal PITA to shift it

but bruit force appears to be the way forwards from the above thread

woooooohooo got the little b stard off

question is does the pulley locate in any special way or place as the other one fell off when it was undone

first of all look for a woodruff key if you are not familiar it is like a half moon shape if it has one then you will see the slot in the pulley for it if it does not have one the it does not matter which position it goes in ,I made a special tool to hold the pulley I will have to try and make some more .

I did not see anything like that have rebuilt it now and starts havnt been on a run yet tho
