a other jobbie which allows u to undo the crank bolt with massive force required
Regarding the massive force...... how did you do it?? Or how do others do this?
I have tried a few things now...very long bar, air tool, etc.. no movement...
As an extra challenge... the engine is out of the car... on a 450kg engine stand, but not sure it will hold on just 4 m 10 10.6 grade bolts in cast iron..
Any suggestions?Best regards

I found that heating the pulley bolt gently with a plumbers gas torch, reduced the torque necessary to undo it. Obviously you don’t do that when tightening the new bolt. You might be better off leaving the final torqueing of the bolt, until the engine is bolted back in the vehicle.

Thanks both of you..
Heating the bolt is a good idea.. will give that a try ( at the two engines I have separate from a car...)
Regarding final tightening, that is what I also thought... wait until the replacement engine is in the car again 😉Best regards

Heating the bolt did the bolt job on the small-block on the stand today!
So, top tip Best regards

I would like to request some help with how I can lock the crankshaft with a manual gearbox. (oil pump replacement)
In the timing locking pin set, the manual gearbox-locking tool looks very weak.
I saw that auto gearbox pin enough strength to hold the crank, but I have manual.
I tried to find the correct tool 303-1123, but it is hell expensive.
Is it a workable way that saw in Flack’s PDF manual?
I would advise if you have never done anything like this before then you need the proper kit to lock the crank.
That picture was taken 10 years ago when I was designing my own locking tool.
Ask on the board tools come up after a member has finished the oil pump change.
