Now Pressuer Plate Question

[vwtype53@yahoo.com (Benjamin Harder)]

Ken,

 My solution is to use a deep-socket 19mm on the bolt on the
opposite end of the crank... the bolt is located within the center
of the pulley on the crank.  I use a long breaker bar on this bolt
and use the ground to keep the breaker bar from allowing the crank
to rotate in the direction that you are trying to turn it when
losening those pressure plate bolts.
(hope this makes sense)

Once you have the ground helping out to keep the crank still, you
can use another breaker bar to losen the pressure plate bolts.

Hope this helps!

Ben
