Seized crankshaft pulley nut was no match!
Having fought with the dreaded bolt for two days, my son, who is studying motor mechanics at college, borrowed this breaker bar... and removed said bolt for me in 2mins. He did it with one hand and barely any effort.... I'd be thrilled if he wasn't so smug about it!!!! |

That's not a breaker bar. That's a torque wrench used to tighten things up not loosen them!

Yes, it is, but hey, it made light work of the job! (And I'll be tightening the new bolt tomorrow)...

Just wonder how close to shearing the bolt we come with huge wrench's and scaffold pipe etc..impact has to be the better way IMO though, hey ho well done you got it off
