I nominate this as reality video of the year. I used a 1200 degree heat gun
to heat the bolt. About 30 seconds twice to get my bolt loose. I planned on
an hour or two to get the crankshaft bolt off. It was closer to 2 hours. I
torqued the bolt to 150 ft/lbs and went back to remove it 2 days and a few
trips later. I put on the 500 ft/lb impact wrench and walla…..
nothing!!!! 🙁 Oh man had to do the breaker bar all over again and like you
take out the 3 foot helper pipe. I put all 150 lbs of my weight on a
breaker bar and pipe combo at least 6 ft total. DO the math, 6ft x 150lbs =
900 ft/lbs. What happened to the 150 ft lbs I torqued it to. I am not sure
it is the rust, but that can be a problem. Look at the bolt you took out —
no rust. It must be the momentum of the engine torquing that bolt. I can’t
explain it. The engine is rated at only 195 ft/lbs of torque. I suppose if
we could figure it out we could solve the world’s energy problems.
I didn’t use the jack stand trick. When my bolt finally loosened I had
breaker bar flying in one direction, extension in another and the socket…
well you get the idea. Use the jack stand if you have one.
Could you have used the starter trick on this engine?
ugh, I am not looking forward to seeing how stuck my bolt is. how much do
they charge at honda to replace this?
