I am working with my son to stop a front of the engine oil leak on his 1500. We are replacing the sealing bar, pan gasket, front plate gasket, timing cover gasket, and front seal. To do this we need to get the crank pulley off.
Our pulley nut won't budge. I have put a wedge between the block and crank and used a huge socket with a lengthy breaker bar on it. It won't move. I'm afraid if I pull any harder the huge breaker bar will break.
I have tried my impact wrench and while it is good, it cannot move this nut either. I may bring home a bigger impact gun from work to see if it is up to the task.
The manual says these things go on with 110 ft-lb. I know we've been pulling with somewhere between 2 and 3 times that. What should we try/do to get that front pulley nut off the crank?
All advice is welcome.
