Subject:DIESEL: how to get the #$%#$^ crank bolt off?
From:Felder

I'm trying to get the crank bolt off my 83 diesel Westy to get to the
seal. I'm having a real time getting the bolt off.

Is a little propane heat permissible? Do I need a 6-point socket and go
at it with a hammer, or do I keep my feet against the tire and keep
tugging on the 1/2 inch breaker bar?

Opinions and advice welcome.

Thanks,

Jim
