Re: Removing crankshaft pully nut

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Wedging a tire iron against the flex plate and the torque converter
isn't a good idea. You could bend the plate and that will cause severe
vibrations. A better way is to put a wrench on the nut and smack the
wrench with a hammer or if you can get straight at the nut an air
impact wrench is the best method.
