Default Easiest Way to Remove CrankBolt

I Just Figured The Easiest Way To Remove The Harmonic Balancer Bolt And It Will Save You Alot Of Time Beside Using The Impact Gun But What I Used Was A Big Screw Driver,of Course A Breaker Bar,24 Mm Impact Socket, Pipe To Go Over The Breaker Bar... What I Did Was Wedge The Big Screw Driver Into The Pulley And It Got Caught Right Behind The Ac Compressor And Thats All U Need Is To Stop That Crank Pulley From Turning And You Can Get That Bolt Out And Get That Crank Pulley And To Remove That Just Follow Ls1howto.com Info Its Real Quick It Took Me Bout 15 Mins To Get That Bolt And Pulley Out Way Easier Then Putting A Screw Driver In The Flywheel If U Need Any More Info Get At Me Whenever... Thanks Ls1tech You Guys Are Always Helpfull...
