Stuck nuts r' us
Why is it everytime I go to take something off my car or engine, it's been put on by a 1000 lb gorrilla?
First I try to take my belt pully off my 3.0 crank tonight (dummy me didn't take it off when the crank was still in the block and I could have locked the flywheel). Impact wrench wouldn't do it, 2 foot breaker wouldn't do it, what next? Then I try to pull my tie rods off to install my turbo tie rod set. Screw driver in the joint, no luck, pipe wrench on the tie rod, no luck. What next? Sprayed them both with PB blaster and left it for the night.

John,
Can't be much help, but want to commend you a great thread title...;-))) PS. I'm not John Walker for sure, but maybe if you bolted the flywheel back on the crank you could hold it stationary long enough to loosen the nut on the other end (you and a friend that is)...

Tie rods
take equal weight hammers...and smack the steering arm 180 opposed or since you are going to the turbo rods.. take a pickle fork and just pry the effers out// pickle fork, smack with BFH usually works

Give it a quick tap once in the clockwise direction, and lube the air tool.

When I was removing my old tie rods recently to replace w/ Turbos, I used a pipe wrench along with a long breaker bar, and they came off without a whimper (I didn't care if I mangled them). It still wasn't 'easy', but they did come off with no problem.

If by belt pulley i assume you mean the one bolted to the crank. That bolt is torqued to a decent value. The only way you'll get it out without something to hold the flywheel is with a large impact, and even then you'll have to work it a bit. Usually the electric hammer impacts are pretty evil, but even then you should've left the flywheel on long enough to do this.

Okay, crank pully is off. Bolted the flywheel to the crank, then a long bar to the flywheel. Then I used a 4 foot breaker bar to get the bolt off.
Next step, the tie rods.
