Loosening crank bolt with impact gun?
How many of yall loosend and tighten your crankbolt holding the pulley with the impact gun? What was the rating of the gun and how much psi were you running? Thanks

I use to remove ,BUT I do not install with air gun,650 tork at 110 psi,
may make a tool to hold flywheel
hope the drawing of tool is understandable
use a 1/8 x 2 flat bar about 12 in long insert into flywheel threw the round hole in botton of bellhouseing ,the notch in side will hold tool in place
PS: THE DRAWING DOES NOT SHOW UP CORRECT ,it should be about 2 in wide all the way down

So i will only be able to break the pulley free with the impact gun and not tighten it with it? So the only way i can retorque the bolt down is to lock the flywheel with a tool? Thank you very much

BTW, I learned this trick from a GM dealership mechanic; they often do it this way.
