Help,  I'm in the process of pulling my engine apart and can't seem to get the from E-Shaft 19mm bolt loose.  I've used a 18" ½"drive breaker bar and bounced on it but it just won't break loose.  Any Idea's, Heat / Hammer.  Thanks for any help.  T.W.

You need a really big breaker bar Tom. 3 or 4 feet long.

Thanks Paul,  the pictures that you sent are of the back of the engine,  I mean the front bolt in the middle of the pully.  I didn't have any trouble with the 2.125 " nut.  Took all of two seconds to break it loose.  Its the little one in front, the one I said oh no problem and broke my 3/8" flex handle on.  I'll use a cheater bar with my 1/2" drive flex handle.  Bruce said they used lots of blue lock tight.  I guess they really did on this one.


I forgot to mention you need to take that one off first.
Unless of course you have a 3/4 impact wrench.
