Man, I just wanted to make a pointless post about how fuking ridicules the crank bolt is on there. Iv broken 2x 1/2 extension rods, I messed up my 1/2 inch ratchet driver, and iv busted a thumb nail off, not to mention I waisted alot of time. Does it really need to be that tight on there lol. I really need to just get the biggest impact wrench I can find and just blow that shit off.

lol.....i had the same problem when i had to pull the head to replace my valve train. i ended up bringing it to my tuner/mechanic and had him do it. he said he had to heat the piss out of it before it finally popped loose. thing is a PITA!

I used the special socket thingy that was posted in the other thread and then put a 3ft breaker bar on it and still had to REALLY pull on it...and I'm a pretty buff guy:mredface::ballchain:
