Impact gun I suggest if you don't have an air compressor: amzn.to/2YpItpi
A rambletron on my attempts and final success on removing the harmonic balancer bolt (or crank bolt) on my 6.0 LS engine. I was removing the bolt and balancer to perpare for a cam swap into the 6.0 LS. This is all in preparation for the LS swap into the G body Malibu that is feature on this channel. Be sure to check out the other videos to watch as I progress through the project in an attempt to build possibly one of the quickest cars built on RU-vid that is street driven.

THANK YOU!!! I was getting frustrated until I tried your advice and it worked right away. You saved me..

@ze_german2921 3 года назад

I used a 1/2" drive impact (Harbor Freight Earthquake) and a 3gal small porter cable compressor. It came off! Never thought this little compressor would have enough air volume to get this bolt out, but it did.

@lambobuilder 2 месяца назад

Thank for the hint. Used heat gun and worked well. Really appreciate your tip.

@themoddedgamer4508 Год назад

Had to ask my buddy to borrow his heat gun and big impact. Got it off. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I really thought id screwed the pooch waiting until the last minute to try and get this thing out with no compression. A MAP torch and my old beat up 18V Dewalt and it came right out.

Thanks for the video ending up using heat, a crowbar, a breaker bar with my floor jack handle for better leverage

@mattkjel654 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. I ended up using a crowbar between the balancer and a Jack. I had to heat the bolt up with a cheap heat gun from harbor freight. Whole process took about 30 min.

@livetorace163 4 года назад

I thought a heat gun might work too. Thanks for sharing!

@xKilonova 10 месяцев назад

New XT Earthquake harbor freight special rated at "1000ftlbs/90psi" didn't touch it. Even cranked the pressure to 120psi, still not even thinking about coming loose.

@stephencook7337 4 года назад

HolyCr4P thanks so much for the advice. I bought two impact guns and neither one did the job....until I brought out the old trusty heat gun.... that bolt came right off! Extremely hot of course 🔥😂👍🏾

@dannymiller6245 3 года назад

I have a 460 big block that was blueprinted and dynod at 600hp but it’s not connected rn and has all the belts and pulleys and balancers off it, the bolt is there tight but I can’t remove it without cranking engine. No pulley to ratchet.

Got the Jesus bolt off of a 5.3 LS engine. Was not easy at all!

@onewheelup 4 года назад

gooooooood lord man you talk so slow i thought you were Paul Harvey,but anyways,my 6.0 has been sitting since 2016 so its froze,i tried my impact and it didnt do shit,i got my heat gun because thats how i get all my bolts off but i was like no i better stop there might be a seal behind it,so i will buy a better impact,mine is a husky that came in a kit so it sucks and i knew it would be a problem i was right,so heat gun for 30 minutes haha and a new impact 400 or more if they have it,i swear i will be glad when im going in the putting it together direction instead of taking it more apart,i feel like i have parts scattered from here to dallas lol thanks for the video sir,good luck with your build.

@drat9625 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your experience. There are two different types of tools made to hold the harmonic balancer pulley while you back out the bolt. One style bolts to your fly wheel and holds it in place, the other fits into the pulley and onto a breaker bar, I got mine from Schley Products, American made, good steel, but there are other tool companies that have a version of these. And I agree, a little heat on the bolt won't hurt anything. Again, thanks.

@livetorace163 5 лет назад

I've got a tool now to hold the crank to torque the new bolt.

@jacobgomez2682 5 лет назад

Mac impact , good air pressure, no sweat

@livetorace163 5 лет назад

Good air pressure is the problem though if you don't have 220v available. I agree though.

@charleshenson4183 3 года назад

I just used dewalts best & it's just under the Milwaukee which is an absolute animal & it didn't do shit. I just about threw that sob I was so pissed. If your mac took it off without heat then chances are that bolts been removed beford.

I recently had this issue on my wifes car. I used everything you did and heat, didnt budge. I tried 2 different air impacts. 1 was rated at 1200 lbs of breaking force and nope. I bought a 1/2" dewalt cordless impact with 1400lbs of breaking force and broke it loose in off within 3 sceonds.

@SlaneVintageModern 5 месяцев назад

You got lucky. I bought the 1400 lb dewalt today and it didn’t do it. Going to use heat tomorrow

@markrogers7304 5 месяцев назад

@@SlaneVintageModern I had to use on my 04 mach 1 last week,spun it off even quicker than my wifes car. Sorry it didnt work. Try the impact with a weighted impact socket and least amount of extensions you can. Those weighted sockets are great for these.

@kennedywong9854 2 года назад

I used 1/2 Dewalt impact gun and still cannot bust open 5.3 ls crank pulley bolt. $$ wasted but sometimes impact gun work.

@Canadiancarguy1987 3 года назад

It's hard to remove that bolt even if you got an "Impact gun" some of them are so rusted on there you need to spin the impact both ways to loosen up the bolt than spin it off, I just did a video today on removing the lower Pulley!

@gotredeemed Год назад

Heat it red and spray BP Blaster while hot. That works sometimes on corrosion.

@charleshenson4183 3 года назад

I just bought & used the biggest,most expensive 1/2" Dewalt impact Lowe's had to offer @ $350 & it did nothing to remove this bolt. This totally pissed me off as I never ever spend that kind of $ on a tool. Then I go to use it on it's maiden & sole reason for me buying it & it fails miserably. I guess I'll try adding heat before I return the pos impact.

@charleshenson4183 3 года назад

As an update. Before using heat i tried an impact socket & the dewalt pulled through & no heat was needed. I have repeated this on 2 more engines & it works like a charm. Note to self,never ever use a 12pt standard socket with an impact on a 6pt bolt head. We learn something every day.

@SlaneVintageModern 5 месяцев назад

I have the gun and an impact socket. Didn’t work. Going to heat tomorrow

@brandonrobishaw7606 2 года назад

I tried my Makita 1/2 drive impact driver and it didn't touch it. Confused me a bit because this is my big dog tool always beats out my 19cfm compressor impact. Anyway I scratched my head figuratively and took out the 3ah batt and put in a 5ah batt. Zing came right out. Then I used a "Chrysler" harmonic balancer puller.
