I wish I could get to the flywheel. the only way is droping the starter and ask Nitroinsane that wont be fun. its smashe between the firewall and the top of the tranny. gayest spot ever for it.
Here are two ways it can be done, but I dont recommened.
Put breaker and socket on car, align properly, with ebrake on (and front wheels off) lower car on breaker (using the weight of the car to break it free).
Wedge breaking against something that wont dent or be damaged, use starter.
Again, NOT recommended, but those are two options (that I’ve NEVER had to use).
Pop the starter with a breaker bar on the bolt like mike said, that should do the trick. If not you will have to get the biggest breaker bar you can find and smack the shit out of it with a sledge. Crank pully bolts tighten down as you drive the car so it is probably torqued because of that to 900ft/lbs or something ridiculous.
I called northtown Lexus and talked to a “tech” (I think IT was only a service writer becouse he didnt know what TDC stood for) he read the print out on how to do it, he said it recomends using specialty Tool XXX-xxxxxx, he said in the pic it clamps to the pully and then spins the bolt off.
well im going to run out there and try the starter trick if that dont work Ill be back on here. or pulling the starter out… god that dont look like any fun.
if anyone has somthing or want to stop by to lend a hand my names mike my cell is
