Ok I got a Mitsubishi mirage n I'm trying to get this nut off the pully so I can get to the timing belt and camshaft and crankshaft.
I've tried heating it up, using a cheater bar, and air tools like an impact wrench if you have any idea let me know

So, is the problem that its stuck or that you cant get the pulley to stand still when trying to get the nut off?
Liam Perry
It's reverse threaded you cunt
Thomas Butler
I'm dying
Austin Phillips
put a breaker bar on it, angle it so its on the ground, jar the motor with the starter to break free
Robert Brooks
This lol
OP bolts holding pulleys are always threaded the opposite way so they don't spin themselves off are you not using a manual?
Ryan Carter
they arent on domestic cars
Austin Torres
It's stuck
Dylan Lewis
Tried that already didn't do shit
Ayden Richardson
Well, considered ?
Try reverse-unscrewing with a LONG breaker bar and a fat buddy/your mother
Something like the long handle of a large floor jack plus a cut spanner will do nicely
Cameron Peterson
What kind of impact wrench do you have?
Anything less than a 1/2" wont do shit.
Liam Mitchell
If its the crank pulley, put your socket on it along with a breaker bar. Position the end of the breaker bar about an inch off the ground to the right of the pulley.
Crank the engine for a hot second, this will slam the breaker bar into the ground and basically the engine will break the nut free with its own cranking power.
Make sure that its reverse threaded or else youll just destroy everything and be utterly fucked.

It was a friend's I'm not sure but it was prolly garbage and the air compressor was only like an 80 gallon and we didn't let it get in the red cause we didn't want to break it
Joshua Wilson
Generally you use a frame member but this is the method.
Adrian Watson
How do you not remember the drive size of the socket you used
Sebastian Rivera
Because I'm stupid ass hat. Pretty sure it was 17mm
Jack Hughes
No, the drive size. As in most air tools start at 3/8 inch drive and go up from there.
Eli Turner
Like I said I'm dumb if I had it I'd be able to tell but it's no longer in my house
Oliver Moore
Position the wrench so that you can place a jack under it.
Jack up the jack.
Make sure it's not reverse thread.
Jordan Richardson
hahahahahhahaha
Owen Torres
Took a pulley off an engine at the jy yesterday, wasn't reverse threaded
Car was a subaru gl
Jaxon Phillips
You need a special weighted socket to break those loose.
You almost cannot otherwise.
Not all engines spin in the same direction, so not all crank bolts are reverse threaded.
Mitsubishi I believe all spin clockwise, and so their crank bolt is reverse threaded.

Hondas run in counter clockwise, and have a normal threaded crank bolt.
Colton Price
So exactly like I said then ya cunt?
Carson Richardson
>timing belt
Are you sure that the engine isn't fucked already?
Mason Cox
If not it will be soon, I mean op can't get one single fucking nut off, this car is fucked
Sebastian Sullivan
put it in 1st, have a buddy hold the brakes and use a 22mm and a LONG cheater bar to loosen that bolt. Torque spec on those is tight as fuck lol
I've never used a special socket and I've gotten harmonic balancers off on mitsu's before. Air tools make life easy
