    its simple.

    Is the timing belt still on? if it is then put a ratchet an socket on it, turn it over until its pinned against the ground, and bump the starter over. The force of the starter will break it loose.

    if you got the timing belt off. go buy a torch for like $10, heat the **** out of the bolt (metal expands when hot) and use an impact gun.

    i may try the torch thing if i need to now... but i had already taken the head off.. so yeah the timing belt is off...

    i ended up actually just cutting the efing timing cover off.... it's too much hassle to have there in the future if i need to work on the car so i wasn't gonna put it back on anyway...

    now my only problem with the pulley is that it's just kinda in the way to get the new belt on and what not...

    but how "hot" should i get the nut? i thought about doing this the other day.. but just wasn't sure about it...

    burn it till it turns red or blue, and then quickly use the strongest impact or nearest fat guy to remove the bolt. if that dont work get a tractor impact =]


    ... those 1 inch drive impacts, those are pretty strong
    I give out reps....
