Engine Strip

[koabi at mcleodusa.net (koabi)]

If you're talking about the bolt that holds the crankshaft pulley onto
the crankshaft, it's lefty loosie (well at least on my 9A and ABA) but I
had to get an electric impact to get the sucker off...when I did it by
hand I was rotating all of the internals...

Hope that helps some,
koabi

Hi Guys

Thought I would start my winter project a little early. Started to tear 
down an 83 GTi engine (JH) for rebuild (blueprint and balance). That 
"&?*&!@#%" son of a gun crank shaft gear bold is one tough puppy.   Any 
secrets here. It has been 10 years since the last disassembly, but Ido 
not believe the bolt is a right hand loosen. Any tricks?? Tried heat 
and an extension on the breaker bar (lefty-loosy, righty 
tighty..correct). Once done I can pull the pistons, crank and seals.

Bill
