Try and get it hot with a blow toorch but you will have to replace the oil seal too

[Bubba]

silly question i know....but you are turning it the correct way? lol

[Benn]

In car out or car?

[torquey]

ok the engine is out the car ive tried both ways as different people have told me its a left hand thread to undo and others say it undoes the normal way.Dont want to sound retarded which way is it to undo?

[Bubba]

anticlockwise to undo yes....or as i remember, lefty loosey righty tighty lol. never lets you down

[torquey]

right will give it another go that way then cheers.

Proper 1/2" drive windy gun, anticlockwise.

A shock with a hammer/drift may also help before applying said windy gun, axially

[torquey]

nice one will give it a go.

[Benn]

Bar on the slam panel with a glove over it (where they meet) then turn the car over.. (just so it spins once)

Fail Benn, engine is out of the carlol

[Paul]

Engines out the car. You need a bigger bar mate!

[torquey]

gonna get a bigger bar just worried about rounding off the bolt.

[Iain]

If it does round off... I've seen pics where the head has been ground off allowing you to remove the pulley and use mole grips to undo the remaining thread.

[torquey]

bolt out now thank god cheers all

If it's looking a bit mauled you can get replacements from Vauxhall for about a tenner.
