Yes, I do remember reading that procedure on the SHO web site some years ago.. I have had my SHO engine apart a few times, and have never had to use that method. With any of these bolts, I always assume I will at some point in the future be removing the same bolts again. For that reason, I think it is important to use the proper torque specification even on joints that are non critical. The bolt itself has limits. --- Dave Swingle <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marc - you may appreciate this one - I recall a > recommended way to > break the crank nut loose on Taurus SHO was to put a > breaker bar/socket > on it, roll it over against the subframe and then > bump the starter. > This of course only works if the engine rotates in > the right > direction..... > > Dave S __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
