Ok well my headgasket blew and i decided to change it by myself :) and also TheSaint influenced me to try do it myself. I stripped apart everything and got all the way down to the crankshaft bolt in a couple of hours but after all my efforts im completly stuck, cant take it out no matter what i do :(.
Any ideas that'll help me take it out? i got no breaker bar btw.
do you have a 1/2in rattle gun with over 750nm? otherwise impact bar with the pivoting socket attachment and a nice big dead blow hammer. otherwise good luck
I got no rattle gun but i tried my mates but it was too weak and i got no impact bar too :(
What car, what engine?
i got a 900nm rattle gun but you need to transport car to me to use lol
Its a civic with a d15b and well i cant really transport the car right now cause the engines stripped apart lol
You're not in luck.
Just brute force with breaker bar or big rattle gun.
If you had a car with an engine on the other side, you could just rest a bar against the ground and then crank the engine.
why do you need to undo the crankshaft bolt for a heasgkast change?
to replace timing belt and get into the water pump
You will need a breaker bar at the very least. Buy or borrow one.
Should be able to remove starter motor and jam flywheel.
Your bodyweight should be able to crack the bolt off.
Depends if asian or not...Quote:

i would not recommend jamming the flywheel/flex plate as i have seen to many amateurs do this and snap teeth off the ring gear
Not an Asian lol I think I would have enough strength for a breaker bar but gotta find one. Heard about the flywheel way too but I don't wana mess with that cause I'm not the most experienced lol. Thanks for the ideas/help everyone :)
$15 - $20 from auto shop will do the trick,
should :I
put the car in gear and get someone to press down on the brakes aswell, and then try to undo it?
Already tried the gear+brake way, didn't work :(
man up and put more muscle in.
Don't need to buy a breaker bar, just use a piece of pipe and slip it over the ratchet. If you don't have a piece of pipe, use the handle of the jack. It should fit over the ratchet handle.
by doing that you will definatley break the ratchet.
bad advise yo. do this only with smaller size breaker bar. not with ratchets.Quote:
