If the engine is out of the car and on an engine stand, turn the engine over and remove the oil pan. Put a short length 2x4 between a lob on the crank shaft and the engine case. This is to keep the crank from moving while you loosen the crank bolt. This method has worked for me both times I have had to take off this nut.
Mark 80 Spitfire 1500 From: "OKCSpitfire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Spits] Timing chain cover nut Does any one have a way to remove the crankshaft bolt in front of the timing chain. I went to Harbor Freight to get a socket set that had a socket big enough to fit the bolt 1-13/16". Any suggestions?
