Snapping crankshaft pulley bolt off...
What is the possibility of snapping the head off this bolt?
I'm thinking about how to go about doing my UDP install since my impact wrench couldn't get it off. I searched and found that a few guys have disconnected the coil packs, put a breaker bar on the bolt and braced it against the ground, and then cranked the starter and it broke loose.
I'm just a little concerned because my stepdad advised against it because I could possibly snap the bolt then I would be screwed big time. I assumed that this bolt was pretty damn strong though...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
drew

thats a horrible idea, so many things that can go wrong with that, try a stonger impact, make sure your using a good impact socket and its the correct size. i am not sure about the maximas but some transverse engines the bolt is reverse threads, someone else can chime in on this one.

no it's regular threads.It's on there tight.I was worried about breaking mine since i was using a 2ft pipe over a 3/4 ratchet. It's a high grade bolt so i wouldn't worry about it snapping. Just follow the write up and lock the flywheel.your going to have to when you torque the bolt when reinstalling it.
