Crankshaft Bolt

**GTAJET** · 26-10-2011 02:43 PM

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

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.
