What Tool Did You Use? Crankshaft Pulley Bolt Removal

[td163]

As far as I was aware when metal is hot it expands...surely that would mean the bolt would expand although only a very little that would make it stiffer to remove??

Or am I all kindsa' wrong? lol.

I think you've probably overlooked the fact the whole engine is made from metal.

Ooohhhhh yyeeaahhhh that did not cross my mind lmao!

Not far from me.
There's a few of us in Nottingham now with a wide range of 306s, few are mechanics who would love to help you out.
Keep a eye out we have quite a few meets, specially now summer has kicked in.


I use the pikey method, break bar on bolt and quickly crank the engine.
Never failed me yet.

Hi dude, that sounds good I'd be up for dropping into a few meets introduce myself and all. My friend would want too as well I imagine dhdcdarchy on the forum.

That method may have to be used if it comes to it. Could you explain in a little more depth what exactly I'd need to do? Do I put the breaker bar against the subframe?

Cheers
