I'm trying to take the crankshaft bolt out my 93 Honda accord. It's not really corroded (not rusty...), but I can't get it to come loose. I've tried a 600 ft.lb impact wrench, a breaker bar with che

No, it's not left handed. I've had good luck with a wrench and a big hammer. Blows to the wrench can help break the bolt loose. You really don't want to heat up the crank. Les. << Help. I'm trying to

My wife had a '94 Accord. I was the unfortunate soul to be the the first to replace the timing belt on it and my 90' Supra. Both were stuck. I ended up putting a long cheater bar on a breaker bar an

Since I've not seen it posted already, I'll offer a way that has always worked for me (from Fiats through Pontiacs), in the expectation that someone will tell me why it's a very foolish thing to do.

One other trick I've heard which might not be as effective is this: Put the car in fifth, have someone stand on the brake. Then go to it with the breaker bar. The transmission, in fifth gear, will ha
