Question

Changing the Timing Belt, Got a problem! Help!

I am in the Process of changing my timing belt on my 91 ranger 2.3l 4 cyl. I got everything off except for the Crankshaft pully hub assembly and the belt guide right behind the hub. The hub and guide are bolted on and I can't get the bolt out with a breaker bar with out the crankshaft moving backwards (and the crankshaft isn't suppose to go counter clockwise, like the bolt, is it?) My shop manual just says to loosen it, but how w/o it moving?
Please help me!

Thanks in advance!!!

I think an impact wrench may help to minimize the movement of the crankshaft while torquing the bolt out.

that might work but an impact wrench is probably to long to fit between the radiator and the hub. any other suggestions? Please!

Pull the starter out and have someone use a large screwdriver in the flywheel teeth to keep the crank from turning.
