Good job, the worst is over!

: In the end we got it off. For those
: searching on this topic in the
: future... this is what we did.
:
: With the sump removed we placed a piece
: of 2x4 between the block and crank near
: the journal for piston #1. Then we
: reverted to the air impact wrench and
: PB Blaster. After soaking the nut with
: the penetrating oil we hit the nut with
: the impact wrench alternating between
: clockwise and counterclockwise. After
: about 5 minutes of that I noticed
: during one of my attempts to loosen the
: nut that it slowly started to move.
: Then it hit the release point and spun
: freely off.
:
: Years ago I bought that large
: 1-13/16" socket just for the
: Spitfire pulley nut. I was extremely
: glad to have it today.

: I mentioned in a previous post that I
: was
: going to work with my son to stop a
: front of the engine oil leak on his
: 1500. We are replacing the sealing
: bar, pan gasket, front plate gasket,
: timing cover gasket, and front seal.
: To do this we need to get the crank
: pulley off.
:
: Our pulley nut won't budge. I have put
: a wedge between the block and crank and
: used a huge socket with a lengthy
: breaker bar on it. It won't move. I'm
: afraid if I pull any harder the huge
: breaker bar break.
:
: I have tried my impact wrench and while
: it is good, it cannot move this nut
: either. I may bring home a bigger
: impact gun from work to see if it is up
: to the task.
:
: The manual says these things go on with
: 110 ft-lb. I know we've been pulling
: with somewhere between 2 and 3 times
: that. What should we try/do to get
: that front pulley nut off the crank?
:
: All advice is welcome.
