    its ok Michael.

    I would rather get a good 2nd hand compressor than a cheep new one. and a $50 air gun will undo the bolt like in the DIY, you may just have to hit it a few more times,

    with cheep air tools, its pick of the bunch. I have seen a $50 air gun undo bolts that my snap on gun couldnt undo, but it only had that much balls for its first month of use, then went to normal cheep shit operation then you get leemons that wont even undo a wheel nut. all depends on the quality of the tool.

    SP make a good airgun for a resonable price.

    Wyn. you put the key in the keyway of the crank first, then slide on the Pulley. look to see if the key is there. then start the bolt by hand, once the key is in place with the pulley is on, its not going anywhere. do up that bolt to spec

    I've snapped one in half too.......but that was while driving the car (no tools anywhere near the crank pulley bolt).

    I went for some hard driving the night before that happened. Apparently it has happened a few times to EG civics based on what my mehc told me.

    It was only suspended by the belts that were attached to it (so no alternator or power steering. I only drove it a few metres (onto a tow truck) though.

    Stupid question - many efforts with said breaker bar and an air impact gun and the SOB still won't come off. I have considered putting it together and taking it to a mechanic but am refusing to do so at the moment as I have the know-how to do this - if I could only get the bolt off...

    Been busying myself with a brake change and other stuff in the interim but I want my car back on the road!

    I am not a newb to doing my own mechanical work and this is getting ridiculous. These things DO come off in an anti-clockwise direction, right???

    yes they do undo anti clock wise,
    are your spark plugs in when you whack it with the bar ?

    they stop the compression from leaking out when you turn the engine.
    so the whack on the bolt is more effective.

    Yes they are.

    I give up. I do my own work because I enjoy it but I am over this. I'll put it back together and take it to someone so they can do it for me. It's frustrating because I am so close to removing the part I need off to complete the job but it just doesn't look like it is going to come off through conventional means. I suspect someone has overtorqued the bolt in a major way last time this was done.

    I could probably get it off with a bigger (ie: HUGE) bar but I've spent enough on tools because of this sort of thing already and I have spent way too much time trying to get this thing off already.

    Thanks for your help ECU-MAN, it is appreciated.
