Nope. Don't do that. Check that washer all the way 'round. It's supposed to
lock the bolt in place.
Can't remember the MG direction of normal rotation, but on Minis, you just set
a wrench on the bolt and engage the starter, which loosens the bolt. If the MG
engine turns clockwise as seen from the front, the method should work.
I lost most of my mail recently, so I'm not sure what your situation is. Am I
correct in assuming you want to remove the bolt that holds the harmonic
balancer onto the crankshaft without removing the engine?
