Re: What aboout that Tensioner ? Removing DogBolt
Compared to some of the equipment I work on, a Spitfire crankshaft nut is easy to break free, and kinda small.
Use a 3/4" drive set. A 1/2" drive set has too much flex to do a good job at getting the nut off, even with a cheater bar. A cheapie 3/4" set is just fine. There's more than enough metal in them to make them effective.
Rope works wonderfully at locking an engine up, but use a non-compressable rope. I've watched people try it with nylon rope, and then complain about the lack of solid locking. Manila rope or such, so things lock solidly.
