Hey guys,

Anyone have any tricks to removing the crank bolt with the radiator in?  My 1/2" impact won't fit in there and I really don't feel like removing the radiator and A/C condenser.

Thanks
Dave

Long wrench, smack the end of it with a hammer to mimic the impact shock rather than pull on it.

Lock the flywheel to keep crank from turning...

Just thought of that after I went in for the night. I will do it tomorrow.  Thanks

If you're breaker bar is long enough to lay on the frame rail you can lay it on there and tap the starter.

I like to cut a piece of cardboard to conceive the radiator when I'm working in that area. Wrenches slip some times.

I locked the flywheel up and got it off.  Thanks for all of the advise.
