johnb80 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Nice one, the job will be done by lunchtime then? Regards - JB Quote
Masked Marauder Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Usual one for crank pulley nuts is get a socket on it, wedge the tommy bar near a chassis member and flick the starter. 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. Regards - JB lol, just read this.... Great minds think alike does that mean I'm now reaching your standard MM ? Regards - JB Cool, how low can you go? 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

Ivor_E_Tower Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 .....as the spend has been authorised by the wife. 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
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 mmmm.......... I think it's just you Ivor :D for how long have you been having these kind of thoughts? do they sometimes spill out into your private life? :( is there something your not telling us? :unsure: Quote
