Default Crank Bolt Removal

Guy last night I spent about 3 hours trying to get the dam thing off, try just about every thing, and the only combination that worked was PB BLASTER and a 1/2in impact gun @ 150 PSI with a few drops of hydraulic fluid in the gun. But to fit the 1/2in impact u need to remove the radiator and the shroud, shouldn’t take you more than an hour / hour and a half.

I'm having this problem right now. Unfortunately, the engine is out of the car and the cam gears are removed...

I tried 150PSI, but I used Tri-Flo. I will spray it with PB Blaster tomorrow and see if it will work.

just chalk a breaker bar onto the ground so when you crank it the bolt will with the breaker bar and pop right off.

use a chain wrench and wrap that around the balancer, then use a 22mm with a breaker bar and step on it. it came right off.
