Title: 2.7t central bolt. clockwise or counter clockwise to remove? Post by: mattyC27tt on January 24, 2017, 11:16:17 PM I've heard horror stories concearning the main crankshaft bolt but none touched on the direction it must turn to remove it. However one story I did hear involved 2 200 plus pound polish guys, a 6 ft bar and a blowtorch and im not even kidding.i think I read it on Audizine or something.

Do Polish pounds weight more than other pounds? Title: Re: 2.7t central bolt. clockwise or counter clockwise to remove?

If there is fuel in the lines it could start for a moment and it could be disastrous. Title: Re: 2.7t central bolt. clockwise or counter clockwise to remove? Post by: AARDQ on January 25, 2017, 10:19:44 AM Good point.

And many other things ;D Title: Re: Re: 2.7t central bolt. clockwise or counter clockwise to remove? Post by: QuickS4 on January 25, 2017, 04:07:00 PM No, not reverse thread. Pull the fuel pump fuse, use the starter motor to break it loose. If you are only doing the timing belt, it does not need to be removed. Not unless you're planning on replacing the starter afterwards. Best thing would be to find someone the correct tool to hold the timing pulley in place with a breaker bar (4ft no less) while another person breaks free the crank bolt with the other breaker bar (again 4ft). That's the safest way, short of buying new parts that burnt out or broke (crankshaft). I've seen starters catch fire because of this method and crankshafts snap off the woodruff key. No more fun after that. Did mine with the tool, and two 4ft bars... When the bolt gave, it let off this snap so loud I believed we broke the key. Lucky it didn't. Clinch moment for sure!

If the starter has enough power it is enough to give it only a short blip. If it doesn't move then it doesn't move. I do agree with the breaker bar method though.

Indeed. I've done it this way a couple of times, when no helper is around, and it works fine. Title: Re: 2.7t central bolt. clockwise or counter clockwise to remove?
