ccw is right like a regular bolt n nut. I read people fail to get the bolt at the first time, try one more time, maybe raise the air pressure .If not you can do a search how people build their own special tool.

 

Thanks for the responce! I thought I was positive that CCW was correct but when it wouldn't come off doubt set in. I will try for a longer time and if that doesn't work I will increase the presure.
I have another question for someone dealing with setting the Timing Belt at #1 TDC. My Haynes states to put the vehicle in neutral and then rotate the Crankshaft CW until the Timing marks align but the FSM does not mention putting it in neutral. Do you have to put it in neutral in order to turn the Crankshaft CW? Thanks!

 

truck should be on neutral to rotate crankshaft.before remove old belt use a sharpie to remark the belt.to get familiar with the marks, the 2 camshaft marks align with yellow dots on pulleys, and the hardest one is the crankshaft that aligns with a dot on crank.I think is tricky cause there is more than one mark if i remember.Just make that crank mark align with the plastic cover that say 0 degrees.

 

Doesn't the Crankshaft turn when the engine is started in Park? I turned the key and tried to put the truck in neutral but it would not shift out of park. I'm past the point of starting the engine and putting it in neutral. How can I get it in neutral without starting the engine? Do I have to roll the vehicle to get it in the position to put in neutral? Thanks!

 

put your foot on the brake!

 

Thanks! Is that all it will take? I will give it a try tomorrow, but why will pushing on the brake allow me to put the truck in neutral?

 

this is what you need. if an impact wont take it off, you will need this to wrap around the crank pulley and use a long breaker bar to remove it. it will need some force!

I think most Yotas or even newer rigs are that way now. Youll have to turn the key part way too.Not far as far as you would to start it though.

 

Gota have somebody lookin out for our safety ya know.

 

This is how i did it when installing my underdrive pulley. Take the correct size socket and ratchet and put it on the crankshaft nut, then take a long breaker bar and snake it onto the handle of the ratchet so the breaker bar is sitting on top of the driver side frame rail. Turn the key and bump the starter without cranking the truck. Do this once or twice and it will bust the nut loose, then just remove. Easy as pie.

Well, I upped the presure on my Impact wrench to 100psi and that did the trick! Bolt off! I was also able to get into Neutral based on what you guys had me do! Thanks!
