What size is the bolt at the front of engine that holds the pulleys on?
I've gone trough all my sockets and they're all to small.

27mm deep, use a 1/2 in. drive

Also, remove your Fan for more clearance. Also make sure you have an extension for that socket as you'll bend the crap out of your pulley if it doesn't clear. Ask me how I know?

[Mrmerlin]

a 27mm deep will clear , if you use a short socket then yes you need the extension

At least 180ft lbs of torque on that bolt. You will need something to lock the flywheel (they make a tool but i used a friend with a big flatblade) and probably a long pipe that fits over your rachet.

Use an impact wrench if you have one.

thanks guys. I've also ran into another snag. The head for 5-8 clyinder bank is stuck on. I've removed all the hardware, and doubled checked everything. But it won't budge. Any ideas?

bolt the exhaust manifold back on and try prying the inside of it up wards with a 4 ft long piece of 2x4
