    if you dont end up finding one, i drilled (albeit it took forever) a thick piece of long angle iron and bolted it to the crank. If you have access to a drill press then its easy to do ;)

            Breaker bar with the end on the ground, drivers side (left) hit the starter. If your bar is long enough that it doesnt spin all the way around and you are not an idiot. That will work.

              I never thought it was a good idea to even move your motor for a second with no torque on crank bolt. That said, he cant use a breaker because to remove the bolt, you need to make the crank hub flange still, not the actual bolt.

              PS: I made one from an m20 pulley, and a piece of angle iron, i can show you a pic, or sell you mine, and make me another 1.

                Done numerous times with other cars no issues. Guys on my other forum (mopar) do it as well.

                    You can use the starter to break the nut free, but then what happens when its time to tighten it ?

                    Barry, BavAuto sells the tool for $50 (if they have stock).

                      Bought one from Pelican

                      I will probably end up renting it for 10.00 + shipping later

                      Thanks everyone for your input
