Are you reffering to the bolt that hold the balancer on? If you are I ran into a similar problem wiht a Chebby 454. After using a 8' (Ues 8 FOOT) long steel pipe over my 1/2" ratchet, it broke loose, and c ame out. Then I hit the next problem. The balancer was frozen to the dame crank! Took a damn 30 ton press to get the thing off. And it destroyed the balancer. Had to junk everything and get new ones!! :drug:

YEAH hahah my balancer is actually one with my crank via rust. I just can't get the thing off with the motor in the bay, which is what I'm doing. I'm just going to run the stock cam with some 1.72 Roller rockers and smaller injectors, until i get better tools. The engine is gonna be fine for another 75K without the timing chain needing work.1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

the crank bolt is the std right hand thread........buy or rent an electric 1/2" impact if you do not have an air compressor/air tools............it's really not that hard........once the crank bolt is out you need to buy or rent a harmonic balancer puller............that bolt should come out with the elec impact, i remove them with my snap on 3/8" impact, that produces around 200 ft lbs torque.......i think the electric ones are 250+

If the motor is out of the car, pull the pan and put a block of wood between the crank throw and the block. That will keep the crank from spinning.Originally posted by MercracerFill a cylinder with rags...........bolt your head back on without rocker arms..........put a big ass breaker bar on the deep well socket or short socket with extension on your crank bolt................exert force and remove your bolt......................
