That's about it, I still need to get the AC bracket off. But it's blocked 20901fcee01abcad5c7f2ccff5cb14cd.jpg

This is why I need four hands. Or. Friends. 868a99b90571e7c31da370c3d2ae21fd.jpg

I don't want to just keep turning the crank though haha

 

I've taken apart 3 M42s without an impact or anything to lock the crank/flywheel. The hammer/mallet only puts force on the the bolt for a fraction of a second. The inertia of the crank is enough to keep it from turning (much). I'm not saying it's the best way to do it, or even a good way, but it works.

I have the crank holding tool, the 24v jesus bolts are on crazy tight. I tried everything in my arsenal, and that was with it in the car lol. Torch didn't heat it enough, and I was concerned about the heat getting elsewhere. Blocked the rear wheels and tried it in gear, felt pretty harsh. 
Long story short. I have the specific tool for the job now. Let me know if you want to borrow it.

I have that tool too! Totally forgot. It doesn't work with my ATI Super Damper so I can sell it to you for half of what I paid.
