99 sable crank pully nut

I have tried an impact gun, a hammer to the breaker bar, and a snipe on the breaker bar. That just turns the engine. Is there anything special about the nut besides being left handed? Is there possibly a pin through the threads? Is it actually a nut or is it a bolt?

    It states clockwise to loosen

    IDK, maybe it is left hand thread. Hold a wedge or prybar at the ring gear, and give it ****.

It's a bolt, and if left hand threads, it will be the first time I have heard of such. No pin would be through the threads. Try the breaker bar or impact gun the other way. If engine tries to turn, pull the starter and wedge a block of wood against the ring gear teeth on the flywheel.
Don't know about sables, but thought all crank bolts were regular threads.

SOURCE: cherokee crank pulley removal/repair

the bolt in the center on the damper is contra thread. to get it off use an impact (electric or air powered). and for the damper it is shot. you will have to replace it with a new or used one from a junk yard.

thanks

It is a right hand thread and you usually need an impact gun. Take the fan out of the way, to give you more room, I have found that helps.

SOURCE: HOW TO REMOVE BOLT FROM PULLY ON CRANK PULLY

They are usually in there pretty tight. If drivable, you can have someone loosen it up with a shop air gun.
Thread is not reverse.
There is a second way to remove it...Use a solid 1/2" breaker bar with the correct size impact socket. You need to support it and brace it against the floor. Then "bump" the engine over Don't crank, just bump. The engine crank will unscrew itself from the bolt. Be careful doing this if socket and bar get loose they can damage you and stuff around the area where you're working. I use a pipe driven into the ground with a pair of vise grips attached to the breaker bar to keep it at the right height. (bar goes inside the end of the pipe)

"Heat" and air impact is the trick. Get it as hot as you can and hit it with air impact. Be careful not to burn yourself!

I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck with your repair.

How to remove stubborn crankshaft bolts from a 1993 mazda mx3

best method is to use a impact gun for this job . The nut tension will be up near 95 ft/lbs and it is difficult to hold the crank when you use a breaker bar. Other wise remove the starter and place a bar in the ring gear teeth.. Easier to get a impact gun.

Cant get crank pully bolt to brake lose

Take the starter off and wedge a block of wood or a pry bar against the ring gear teeth on the flywheel. That would hold the crankshaft steady. Are you using a good stout breaker bar to try and loosen the bolt? If you have access to an impact gun, that is what shops often use. Any friends or neighbors with an impact tool? If you can drive the car to a shop, you could have them loosen it for you, then tighten it just enough to get you back home to finish working on it.
Here is a method I have used and it works great, but do it at your own risk, it is not recommended: With the car on the ground, use a 1/2 inch breaker bar and socket on the bolt. The end of the bar needs to be resting on the ground, and situated so that when the starter is bumped over-just a quick bump of the starter-the engine crankshaft turns just a little bit, but the breaker bar will keep the bolt from turning with the crank-it will loosen the bolt. Just one quick bump from the starter and I was able to loosen the pulley bolt on a Chrysler this way. Lots of DIY mechanics have done this, but as I said, not recommended. But if carefully done, and breaker bar is situated in right position-it will loosen the bolt. Post back if you don't understand. Good luck.

Cant get crank pully bolt out.Does it turn same as pully or oppisite?

Opposite but the torque on there is extremely high, you are going to need a good breaker bar, block the flywheel with a strong screwdriver.

Hey, you responded to my problem with my 1993 accord that suddenly died on the highway. It was the timing belt, Thank You! I am removing covers and belts and am having difficulties with the crankshaft...

This part's fun. If you're keeping the pulley from turning, you can put the socket size on a breaker bar and attach a decent length of pipe to the breaker bar for increased leverage and pop it. Another way is to wedge the breaker bar against the ground to keep the nut from turning and tap the ignition (try to turn it over for about 3 seconds to pop it). There is also a manual impact driver that runs about $20.00. It has a 1/2 inch drive socket holder. Hold the socket into bolt and tap it with a 3lb. hammer to give it a 1/4 turn. Finally, you can fit the socket and breaker bar against the bolt and crack it a few times with a soft-faced hammer to loosen. Try spraying some penetrating oil into the bolt (I prefer Liquid Wrench, but WD-40 also works). Any of these methods should free it.
