to undo the e20 nut on bottom crank pully is it clock wise or anticlock wise on c20xe to change oil pump ????????

[thespannerman]

Its normal thread sp anti clockwise to undo iirc!

[mk1nova_rich]

Yep just normal righthand thread. Usually take some undoing unless you can find a way of 'locking' the crank to provide enough resistance to undo it

Pop the car in 5th gear and get some one to press the brake on as long as your clutch is good that should hold on fine

[davidfox280585]

i have had to cut them off before then once pully off unwind the rest of the thread with your fingers trust me

Buzz gun,

270+nm most guns don't go anywhere near that high.....


Bar in place, against the ground or slam panel, fuel pump relay out, turn car over.
Works everytime, made a bang tho.

Yes they do.
That's the worst way to do that job.Thats downright dangerous!

Exactly my thoughts lol especially coming from the owner of one the cleanest Novas in existence!!

[brainsnova]

Big arms lol I can undo 420nm

Tell that to US Pro, I've seen one rated at about 800Nm at 90psi and it wasn't even 3/4" lol

And lets face it, everyone runs them at 120psi anyway :p

Not many i've seen. And why is it? Yeah it jumps off it. But due to it being enclosed on all 4 sides it can't go anywhere.

Really? Ok i've only seen snap-on and a few others, but most of them are rated to about 150-200... Or so i thought, i might be hugely wrong.

[deneil_gsi2000]

Ppfffft, how about 8000 nm at less than 5 bar. Thatll crack the bolt lol

Torque guns ftw lol

[Balley]

Most guns are 300nm plus. Mine I have tested to 500nm using a lorry torque wrench. Turning it over with a bar sounds deadly, It could very easily damage your paint if nothing else.
