Stubborn cam pulley.

Post by stamp_licker » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:41 pm

Trying to get the cam pulley of the left hand head[ej22].Have tried a 1/4extension bar and 10mm socket holding the pulley still and a breaker bar on the bolt holding it on ,this resulted in the bolt that holds the cover on bending.Tried a old cam belt wrapped around and locked off ,1m long breaker and still it won't move.This thing won't budge.The head is still on the motor.
Any one know any other tricks?

haha yer that helps..i was kinda wondering wt the cambelt was really used for and why you were bending bolts lol..

neway have u tried a rattle gun..or if you dont have one then a breaker bar and smack it with a decent hammer to try n shock it into coming undone kinda like a rattle gun would do

If push comes to shove try an easy-out (especially if you snap the bolt) - the trick will be to get the drill in there to drill a hole in the remaining piece of bolt...
