Car - AE71 Pano
motor / part in question - 4AGE 20V Blacktop
problem - Crank bolt stuck hard
occurs/started when (if applicable)- Timing Belt Change
personal situation (if applicable)- Wild
Doing timing belt change on 20V Blacktop motor (motor out of car)
I firstly used a tool I made to hold the crank pulley in place so I could get the bolt undone.
Used it before with no issues on multiple engines.
It bent and cracked, so I bought a proper pulley holder.
Been waiting for delivery, hanging out to get this tool and get job done.
It arrived yesterday, so had a little play around with it to familiarize myself with it.
So just now I got to use it and this happened.
This Crank bolt is on with some serious force.
I think someone has used locktite and hammered the thing up with a rattle gun.
My next thought is to lock the flywheel in place with a ring gear locking tool.
My problem is, if I lock the ring gear I'm transfering all pressure on the rear of the crank.
Is there any change I can snap the crank wilst hanging of a breaker bar?
I'm serious, this bolt is farken tight. I know 4AG use a forged steel crank form factory, so this is a plus, but is it possible?
