CaMpylobacter Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I've had this problem. I ended up wedging powerbar up against the rail, and using the starter. coil lead off obviously. worked a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakamin Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 behind the alternator belt pully so i gotta get it off but how is where im stuck cause the thing is so bloody tight.so any body got any ideas? You tryin to get the pulley off the alternator? or am I drunk (already)? Or you tryin to remove whole alternator? edit: nevermind... just got it into my friggin head... no slots in anything to wedge a bar thru???? not a left hand thread is it?

blakamin Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 usual.... yes... always? um... depends... Is it a bolt or nut? If bolt---- Look at the head of the bolt... real friggin close and just check there aint a little "L" on it anywhere if nut.... you might be able to see which way the thread turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 fucked if i know, me = seriously not in the mood to think about it... was just saying it might be worth a try cos i know ive been pwnt by reverse thread in situations like this before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a firm believer of "If it don't come off with all the tools I got, it's a fuckin left-thread!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 yea you can try shock lod by tapping the socket with a hammer and punch or suitable piece of steel while you have some wieght on the powerbar , this is the only way i can usually get saf axles of haha , or the left hand thread have been part of a team that twisted the end of a 1" powerbar by tryna 'undo' a left hand thead , at worst some prick has put the wrong thread down the hole and your gonna have to drill it out etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 nah shes definatly not a lefty thread so it must just be done up FKN tight. whack the leads of and jimmy the power bar up n flick it over for a second a few times u reakon aye, might give it a try tomoz when the old mans not home to lol at me for doin dodge stuff.
