I really don't see how you could do it. Removing it yes - cut it. Installing it... um... er.. uhhh... no.Ascari_2 said:Hey guys.
I found a thread here people said that you can change the belt without taking off the crank pulley but how exactly is that done? Is there a write up anywhere. My engine is out of the car at the moment by the way.
Ascari_2 said:Crap I am too tired. The other thread said cam pulley not crank. Anyone have any ideas on how to break the bolt with the engine out of the car?

Ascari_2 said:The damn bolt is a no go. I'll have to actually wait til the engine is back in so I can lock the crank via the rear wheels. Seems like the easiest thing to do unless someone's got some good ideas. I know I could've taken off the oil pan and jammed a 2x4 in there to stop the crank from moving but I don't really feel like doing that.

I think you are missing what Stu was trying to say. Your engine is out of the car, so go take a piece of say 1/4 think aluminum plank. You should be able to find something similar at Home Depot. It will be around 1.5-2" wide, 1/4" thick and however long you buy it (make sure it is long enough to touch the ground from whatever height your engine is at). Now drill two hole's in it so it lines up with 2 of your flywheel bolts. Bolt it on with two flywheels bolts to the block. Now one end of the bar should be touching the ground at an angle. This will keep the motor from turning as you try and remove the crank bolt. Have some people hold the engine while another person takes a long pipe and a breaker bar and removes the crank pulley bolt. It should come off pretty easy with a long rod and a good size breaker bar. Using a 2x4 jammed into your crank doesnt sound like a good idea.Ascari_2 said:The damn bolt is a no go.
