HELP!! I tried my best with my impact driver yesterday & it wasn't budging so I gave up,While I was having my tracking checked this morning I ask the lad If he would kindly release the bolt with his Air gun to which it didn't even move Sad

Any other ideas to get this dam thing off??

tell the lad to wait for the compressor to fill up and turn the gun to 4.

balls to most of the above put itn gear and stamp on brakes to lock it up, then crank it off with a bar, failing that it you still can`t get it off put the socket and bar on, turn it clockwise so the bar end is on the floor put ya fut on the floor and bar and blip the starter over but dont run the engine that should crack it of!!

I really wouldn't do that unless you are experienced enough to feel ok with it, which I don't and I'm pretty sure your not either if you can picture what can go wrong.

Your going to have to introduce some heat me thinks then replace the seals

Someone has obviously put a lot of thread lock on the thing - I hate thread lock especially when people use far too much Yes

An air gun will get it off, you'll just have to be patient with it and work at it. Wink

When I removed my crank pulley my engine was on a stand and I am sure I just had a pin through the pulleys. Must have been lucky/the crank pulley wasn't as tight as it should have been to get away with it.

I forget it if I did anything with the flywheel, I must have done.

Just take it to a garage, they aren't going to charge you anywhere near as much as it's going to cost if you f**k something up.

If the bolt is that tight then I certainly wouldn't be repeating the crank the engine over method, to be honest I wouldn't want to try that at all myself but if it's that tight surely you risk stripping teeth off the belt and it slipping...

Exactly, if the crank locks up then the cambelt won't move so therefore it won't strip. Wink

Just to check so can you do this with the cam belt cover on? I have a impact gun so can wizz the bolt out etc but surely when I remove it wouldn't it affect the cam belt tension etc? I've not taken one off yet so a bit cautious but my replacement engine has a standard pulley on and my old engine has a nice alloy one on so thinking it would be rude not to change it

yes no problem at all, the timing belt is of course on the sprocket behind it not on the auxillary pulley, just ensure that you do not disturb the woodruff key that sits under both, it should slide on easily without force.

Oh so the pulley that gets replaced is for the alt belt etc not the actual cam belt? I was just assuming that it was stepped behind lol so the hole is purely for alignment when doing a belt. Makes a easy swap then.

So the whole slipping pulley issues that happen are just a issue when it comes to a belt change?

yes, from numpty mechanics.

not an issue that arises particularly with this engine, however on the DW10 HDI engine when the outer section does separate it can throw the auxillary belt, which more often than not will end up going between the pulley and the timing belt cover, with rather undesired consequences.
