1987 4runner with AUTO. I've tried and tried, my electric impact will not break it, Torque bar and cheater pipe with a chain wrench around the pulley and NO BEANS! What's the deal here??? I can't break this thing loose, I'm afraid I'm going to shear the head off the bolt. Is it reverse threaded? I used the old torque bar and starter motor... no dice.
I don't have air at this garage (buddies house as he has heat), I'd put it back together but broke the damn timing gear with an extension trying to hold the engine tight while I torqued the crank.
PLEASE HELP NEED ADVICE
I don't what to pull the arb bumper if I can help it.
I've used a little heat from my map gas torch should I heat the living hell out of it for a while and try again?
