What size is the crank pully bolt?
« on: 14 November 2009, 10:34 »
Need to know ASAP so I can turn the bastard thing by hand, tried pulling the t-belt and shifting it with my hands, no go so need to know what size it is so I can go out and get the right size (my socket collection is tiny  :embarassed: ).

Cheers!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

You could just put the car in gear and rock it ;)

19mm sounds right.

its a 12point bolt, so use a 12 point socket for better grip. i undid it by momentarily turning the engine over with the starter.

Yup made sure it was a 12 point, I had a 19mm 6 point but didn't fit, so picked up a 12 point 18mm, 19mm and 20mm... which I needed anyway  :rolleyes:
