Re: [doc] Pulley Nut Help

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Alan,
I have removed the manifolds and the starter motor today, this a
revealed access to the ring gear if I can lock this with a G clamp,
I can avoid putting stilsons on the pulley hopefully.
We had a meter long bar on a old 1/2 drive but with the car in 1st
gear with the wheels on the ground, handbrake on, Bob standing on
the brakes and John my Mechanic friend and I on the bar.
we succeded in moving the car even with the wheels chocked with 
blocks!
Hopefully lots of heat and 3/4 drive and locking the flywheel will
help.
Regards
Nick H

pull, the nut came undone....  but It`s damn tight.
