Dickensheets Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Anyone ever use the little hole on the back of the engine to hold the engine still while removing the crank pulley nut? If so how well did it work and what exactly did you stick in there? Thanks, Ryan '97 OBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyFlicker Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I did it the easy way. Remove the fuse to keep the engine from starting. Take a long breaker bar and position it so that the socket is on the the nut and the end of the handle is on the drive way on the drivers side. Then bump the starter.

Dickensheets Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 I've heard of that, but how do you re-torque when reassembling? Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStretch55 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Just pull the timing check plug out and use a flat bladed screwdriver. Slide it between the bell housing and the torque mount bar, so the blade is between two teeth on the ring gear. To retorque, just put the screwdrive on the other side of the timing check hole with the blade between two teeth on that side. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Anyone ever use the little hole on the back of the engine to hold the engine still while removing the crank pulley nut? I have. If so how well did it work? It stopped the engine from turning. ...and in BOTH directions I might add! What exactly did you stick in there? Some screwdriver-looking thingy I had laying around. Just search around for something with the length and strength, then gingerly wedge it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickensheets Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 I just tried it - seemed to work fine with a plain ol screw driver. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I have used a big screwdriver in a EA71 and EJ22 without any difficulty. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBARU3 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 It's on the top of the engine flywheel cover/bellhouse. At the top rear, passenger side of the car. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
