... i have got a little problem with my crankshaft...
Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:36 PM
well im doing a complete rebuild. heres where im at...





ive got the bolt stuck in the end of the crankshaft because i was using it to turn the crank by hand... seemed like a great idea at the time. but now the crank just turns as i try to loosen it. any idea on how to make the crank stop spinning while i turn the bolt so i can get it off???

i feel stupid.

if you cant get your hands on one, throw the plugs in the motor, so you will be fighting against the compression. You should be able to jar it loose and then unthread it.

Bolt the flywheel to the other end and stick a screwdriver through one of the holes to keep it from spinning...
