The crankshaft bolt is the easiest part if you know a trick.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Put your socket on a breaker bar with pipe entention (if needed). Make it so it is resting against the frame or ps box. Then just hit the starter. It's off in 30 sec max. I've done sooo many using this method. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Don't forget to disconnect the ignition if you use this method. I do attest that it works like a charm though. Another trick on a manual trans vehicle is to rest the wrench as suggested, leave the truck in gear with the parking brake off and give the truck a shove. Breaks loose the bolt and all is good.
