Hyundai Repair: 2001 Hyundai Accent, pulley bolt, crank pulley


Question
I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent and I can't seem to get the crank pulley bolt free. I have tried 3 different impact wrenches in foward and reverse. Any suggestions

Answer
Hi, Mike.  If you're unable to get the crank pulley bolt (standard right hand thread) out with an impact wrench, you may need to use a large screwdriver or similar tool to wedge in the teeth of the flywheel to keep the engine from turning while you attempt to loosen the bolt by hand.
