Meh doesnt work ALL the time. Ive had some VERY stubborn ones before. When I did the starter trick itd just bind the starter up and i broke 3 crafstman ratchets. I finally got it off with a 3/4" impact wrench turned all the way up. johnnytwelvepack 12-08-2008, 07:00 PM Heat it up till it is orange hot and then try the starter trick or your impact. OOP'S 12-08-2008, 07:53 PM i broke 3 crafstman ratchets..That is your problem, you are using ratchets instead of breaker bars. toy86 12-08-2008, 07:57 PM That is your problem, you are using ratchets instead of breaker bars. yup, get a breaker with a 4-5 foot piece of tube over it, truck in gear and ebrake on and it will come right off lilbuddy 12-08-2008, 08:13 PM That is your problem, you are using ratchets instead of breaker bars. Even with a breaker bar it bound up the starter. But yes that was dumb and I shoulda taken the hint when the first one broke. Thats when I went to a buddys shop used a breaker bar and then nothing so out came the 3/4 impact | |
