My method is to get a long tube (3 to 4 ft), get a fair bit of pressure on it and then hit down near the end of it with a hammer. Usually a couple of good hits will loosen the nut.

Seriously though, this is what we do when we take the crank nuts off of our Astra GTEs and they are a hernia inducing 250Nm and 90 degrees. Quote

Is that why there's a water trough and a saloon round the back of the local Vauxhall dealers then? or is that just for tieing up the body shop cowboys horses :o Quote

I managed to get her to agree to an engine crane a few weeks back Is this just my perverted sense of humour or did anyone else envisage the engine crane being used to winch the wife into the car ? :unsure: Quote
