I'm replacing the oil pump on my LET before I put it in the Corsa, but can't get the fooking crank bolt out

It's on the engine stand, so i've got enough resistance to work against but it won't come out! I've even been bashing seven shades of shit out of the strong arm and still no luck, am I doing some thing wrong?

Right, forget that first answer. I finally got it off, me hanging on the breaker bar and someone else hammering fook out of it.

Got another problem know, is there any other way to get the pulley of the key?

easiest way i found to get bolt out was to put socket on with a bar that will reach floor and turn car over (not start) and it losens it, pulley just comes off? try taping it

agree, impact wrench running 150psi usually works well...

to get the pully off, soak the centre with wd40, then tap it untill its loose
