I have an 87Turbo and noticed a great amount of oil leaking from the crankshaft area and almost zero iol pressure. I am a real dummy when it comes to fixing cars but I thought I would give it a shot. I took took out the radiator and removed all the belts and got very frustrated when it came time to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt, any suggestions? It does loosen counter clockwise, right?<br>thanks

that bolt is VERY tight.yes it removes counter clockwise.put your breaker bar on it,rest that against the frame rails,bump thr starter.that's the best way,as even those of us with air sometimes still can't get enough juice to break that thing loose.hope this helps.<br>shawn

You very smart, i have done the same way.<br><br><br> art

i take apart toyotas for a living.i work on them on the side in my garage also.i also race in demolition derbys.all three of these take a little creativity,lol.

shawn<br>thanks for your advice on removing the crank bolt but i was wondering what you meant by bump the starter? and which frame rail should the breaker bar be on the passanger or driver?<br>thanks jay

Up against pass lower frame rail.bump the key,bump the starter??just make sure you unplug the igniter on drivers inner fender.dont want to start it,just use starter to turn engine.
