Crank pulley bump start/pry bar advice?
Ran into MANY snafus in trying to get to my front cover gasket leak.
My current snafu is how to break the nut loose on the crank puppy. I've read pry bar and bump start ideas...but am not fully comprehending.
Would someone be kind enough to post exactly how this is done, keeping in mind I'm a 5'2" woman that weighs 110lbs with no mechanical background and the assistance of a friend with a little more muscle? If using pry bar method, where do we put pry bar exactly? Or, details of bump starting.... How does that work?
I'm so very close to getting my truck apart - and then back together. Hoping this is my last snafu!
Thanks as always,
Marni

Bump the engine and note the rotation of the crank pulley.
Remove the fuse for the fuel pump.
Put your socket on the crank pulley nut, put breaker bar on socket.
Brace breaker bar against the frame-rail or garage floor towards the side of rotation.
Tap ignition key.
Nut will now be loose.
To put it on you must use the proper torque values.
