Crank pulley

[prodigy2k7]

Well I tried the trick where u put a long breaker bar and a socket on the pullet and use the starter to loosen it.

Well My socket isnt an "impact" socket but its not the regular silver crappy sockets either.

It rounded out my socket! lol
Not only that but the socket isnt a cylinder shape anymore, its bent outward as it rounded lol.

I need to wait for my dad to get home or someone to get a stronger socket before i stip the crank pulley bolt. It looks fine tho doesnt looked like I stripped anything.

I also tried putting it in 5th gear, 4wd low, locked hubs and the car still wanted to move backwards! lol

Any input?

Did you use a metric socket I hope?

Yes 19mm i believe.

Im not *that* stupid lol...

Imports like honda toyota use metric, us uses standard (inches crap)

Most american cars have been 90% metric since the late seventies early 1980's. An impact gun will take that bolt right out.

Are you sure you are turning it the right way?

Wish I had one of those lol

... Yes The motor turns clockwise right when looking toward the motor.

As some timing chain guides say put the bar on top of the driver side frame

How come? I actually heard that some US companies dont make the cars in the US anymore such as ford? Are there production lines from forn in the US still? I heard they moved out of US to save money or something. Is that true or complete myth? Anyways getting off subject lol

1st gear/4low would be the best for parking, not 5th. You want lower gears to hold the truck still.
