Anybody ever tried to remove the crank pulley bolt on one...What...teh...fauk...

[Z06killinsbf]

Do you have to remove the tire/wheel on that side? Should have an access panel

[appelingogt]

yes, removed wheel on passenger side, buddy called me and asked how the hell do you get the bolt out...it doesnt have a regular bolt head but a half inch indention where you put a half inch breaker bar/ratchet...the sumbitch will not break loose even with my snapon half inch impact...and its a bad bitch

never done one on a Chrysler, but on my buddies Camry we put a breaker bar on the bolt and hit the starter to bust it off. i'd recommend bracing the bar against the car itself vs. the ground so it doesn't possibly launch the car!

Shit only 134 +/- 3....+ the red loctite some asshole put on it,LOL
I did a timing belt on this little honda a couple years ago, had to put a 1 inch drive turned all the way up to back off the crank bolt. Looked like a whole bottle of loctite on it.

at least it's not the battery on a sebring convertible... what a pain in the asshole

Ha! That would be a sight to see!

Heat it up with a torch, then hit it with an impact.

Im not doing no more shit to this car...but i've thought this and it would fuck up the rubber in the crank pulley/harmonic balancer...and its really not a sight to see when you bump the starter with it locked down with a breaker bar, it moves the engine a little bit depending upon the charge of the battery...CMON I NEED SOME GENUINE OLD FASHION REDNECK(edit DFWM) INPUT...

BTW, cry-sler is shit.

Always has been.

When all has failed for me the starter thing has always worked. Buuuut here's where it can get hairy. Don't brace it on the car. Let it slap the ground. That sudden stop a few times has always don't the trick for me. Just reseat the breaker bar to make sure its not coming out .

You can add oil to the airline to slightly improve the torque on the impact, if you can't heat the spot.

You can also use a a pipe or something similar to extend the handle of the breaker. You might find the breaking point of the bar/socket/extension/etc though.

This has always kept me out of situations like this:
