VR s2 6cyl auto with a VERY stubbin harmonic balancer bolt that does NOT want to loosen. I've tried all my little tricks including a 2HP compressor (8 or .8 mps ??) with a rattle gun,,, socket with breaker breaker bar & starter motor methods wouldn't loosen the main nut. So today i laid into the centre of the HB with a cold chisel and a WHOOPING big hammer (& breaker bar). Still with no luck :bang: just made three nastie cuts through the metal on the inside of the HB.
Had to take her out this arvo & where i had sprayed the RP7 ,in the centre a purple ish gunk spun out & it's looking like locktite.
I hate to be beaten by a bolt & it's not in the budget at this point in time to take her to the shop. If anyone knows of a way to loosen a VERY stubbin HB bolt i'd realy like to learn it :thumbsup:. Gave the bolt a bit of a wack, no help. Three times i even pulled the breaker back 50cms & hit the ignition,, just made the engine rock and stop. probably not a good idea to keep trying THAT :whistling
