Eccentric pulley removal problems
I'm trying to remove the front clip off my J-spec S-5 engine and it just wont budge.
Is there something simple I'm missing out on; reverse threads or something.
So far I've tried an impact gun (1/2" Craftsman 400rev ft/lbs), WD-40, flywheel lock with 3' breaker bar and 2 people. The only thing I was left with is the knot that's still on my face after 2 days from a projectile pry bar.
I'll recheck my factory service manual but assistance is still much appreciated.
Thank you!

EDIT - After looking at the manual, it only shows it as a washer, my T2 engine had the same whasher style, however the 6 port engine had the bracket typ washer that I was talking about

We've covered this many times before. Search for "eccentric bolt removal" or variations on that theme.
Basically, it's torqued to 90 ft-LBS from the factory with PLENTY of Loctite. Some builders will just crank down on it until it reaches several hundred pounds (which is quite wrong, by the way).
You need to heat it to release the Loctite. And find the biggest, baddest impact you can. Standard threading is used.

I do think it was rebuilt before. The warmup wax had no vac lines on it and there are metal gaskets all over. They probably did overtighten it. And I didnt see any bracket, but I'll still check it out. Thanks for the advice. I'll fill you in later.
Well I'm off again...
