Crankshaft Pulley Nut won't come loose. (1 Viewer)

[mrjordann]

Hi, I have an F engine and this nut won't seem to come loose. Is it reverse threaded or anything? Or do I just need more torque to remove it?

Please excuse my ignorance. Thanks for any help.

A heavy duty impact will zip it right off.

Believe I've used a ratchet strap around the pulley several time and tied off to the frame or engine if it's out. You can then apply more torque.

Thanks. Worked. Just this weird thing made me wonder if it was reverse threaded.

Interesting. How is someone supposed to access it with the radiator in the way?

Search it up...stock rad is not in the way.


There was a video of someone hand crank starting their truck years back.

Yes, it's doable in a 40, but easier in a 55. I've started both with the handcrank.

Are you referring to this video? I guess you're right if the radiator is above it.
That's really great information in case I'm stuck with a dead battery! Thanks
