I am struggling on a BJ8 engine to break the front pulley nut.
It is quite a recent rebuild so suspect Loctite or similar is maybe the
culprit.
Locking tab/cup is definitely free
Using the proper size 1/2 x 1 11/16 socket.
Flywheel end securely locked via long bar onto solid concrete
Tried:
Long Crescent wrench and pounding
Breaker bar with 26 in total leverage - just bends
Electric impact wrench - had no expectations really
Air impact tool with supposed 800ft lbs (?) of loosening torque
1/2 in impact tool that pounded with 4 lb hammer
Some heat from a propane source. Probably needs proper Oxy Acet heat ?
Any thoughts ideas appreciated.and please not that it should be CC !
