Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / June 2005harmonic balancer retainer bolt removal
i have just bought a 92 buick skylark and have reason to believe the oil pump is shot. the question here is that i removed the oil pan, starter,and the belt and tryed to get the bolt out and cannot get it. having a problem keeping the motor from turning and when did get it to stay still for a moment the thing still won't budge and i need it off to get the oil pump out. can someone please help me out. it would be greatly appreciated. thanks nitemare75 Normally you can use a good solid wrench and brace it against a frame piece on the correct side to stop movement and give the starter a burp.

Remove plug number 1, and set the piston to bottom dead center, beginning of the compression stroke (not the exhaust stroke, you want the one where the valves are closed!) With the piston down fully, feed the free end of the rope into the spark plug hole, making sure you don't let go of the free end (you have to get it out, remember). Then allow the engine to turn with the bolt until the rope blocks the piston. Or, use an impact wrench like the rest of use do. Impact wrench makes it easy. B~ |
