How do you loosen the nut on the crank shaft with damaging surrounding parts?

Thanks

Are you talking about the nut on the end of the crank? (outside of the clutch)

If so I just remove it with an impact wrench

that tech is mostly aimed to help folks who don't have an impact wrench........

How does anyone live without at least one? :shrug:

This might be good time to mention...I have an electric 1/2" impact gun (Dewalt) that I bought used at a flea market years ago for $20. I use when I don't feel like starting up the compressor and waiting for it...I just used it today to change a tire on my GMC Suburban and to break loose some big rusty hardware on a '37 Ford axle that had been in place for all 73 years and that thing kicks a**!!!
somewhat bulky, but it's as strong as my air gun....
A good option if you don't have compressed air.......

Hi:
Used the rope method for removing crank shaft nut. Worked like a champ.
Thanks
