Last time I did this job, I pulled the radiator so I could get an impact gun in there. Is there an easier way to do this job? Thanks guys :beer:

If its too tight to put wrench on the end or if it side loads the puller too much you'll need to take the radiator out. I've done it with it in.

I understand that you need a puller....I am talking about getting the bolt broken free thats in the middle. Thanks

Yeah, i need to remember about the washer/rtv part as well...

I did my whole Eaton Swap with the Radiator in. I just removed the fan and I was able to get an impact gun on there to break the bolt free. Radiator really wasn't in the way for me.

on a manual transmission vehicle you should be able to break it loose with a long breaker bar with the car in gear (?)

i had to do it on my auto transmission truck however, and needed to remove the starter to use a flywheel holding tool

best of luck :beer:

taking that bolt off with the engine on a stand was fun.

required 10 seconds straight of holding the trigger with an electric impact gun..worked though!
