Re: How to remove crank bolt

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had to pull one of my RamCharger 4 weeks back.  I pulled the pully,
took a few longer bolts that fit the pully bolt holes, Used a pry-bar to
solidly hold the harmonic balancer on those two bolts, and a Breaker-Bar
with the big socket to loosen the crank bolt.  Usually have to throw
away the bolts used with the pry-bar.  I bent both of them in the
process.
