Some people use PB Blaster and struggle, others use multiple front end loaders and make AWESOME videos. For anyone who had ever torn an engine down, the "finesse" you use is admirable.
WELCOME TO EXTREME BOLT BREAKING WITH YOUR HOST ERIC I'll be totally honest, my thoughts went straight to "put wood on top and hold down with forklift" but did not make it all the way to "use front loader to push the bar". My horizons have been broadened.
I was expecting him to get a pipe to put on the breaker bar and comes in with a front end loader LOL!!!!🤣 That has got to be the strongest crank bolt ever!!
I'd say adding a 4X torque multiplier to your toolbox might be a good idea after this one! I used to work at a company building industrial electric actuators. The largest, most powerful units we made had certain parts that were hand-torqued to very high numbers, as high as 1800 ft-lbs. We would sometimes also have to tear down and disassemble failed units, and breaking stuff loose sometimes required the torque multiplier with a breaker bar AND a 4' cheater pipe. We had a big workbench with a slot in the middle for the multiplier to brace itself in. Good times.
Removing that crank bolt reminds me of the few times I struggled. One was a 5SFE Celica engine - stuck the breaker bar to the ground, started the engine to crack it loose - the car lifted up for a moment then it broke loose, worked great. The other time was a Subaru axle nut - gave up, breaker bar to the ground, jumped in the car started it and put it in reverse and rolled it until it cracked loose - worked great.
I have done both of these things, Toyota truck 4.7, harmonic balancer bolt. I jammed a 5 ft piece of rectangular tubing on my breaker bar and the frame rail was the stop.
Impressive! You know what the experts always say, there is a correct tool for every job. I suppose that includes heavy construction equipment! Another exciting tear down, thanks Eric!
@@FuglyFatt I was waiting for him to use the red wrench. With skill, you can blow out a galled pipe or cap screw that is broken off flush with the surface while leaving little or no damage to the internal threads. When threads are galled, the rust or corrosion components help insulate the two mating surfaces from each other, and help keep the oxygen off the female surface.
How do you think you get seized bolts and nuts off of construction machinery? With other construction machinery of course. When you have a seized nut on the main boom ram of a 100 ton machine the only thing that'll put enough weight on it to get it off is another 100 ton machine. You also need at least a forklift to carry and fit the spanner which can weigh a few hundred kilos itself.
Previous mechanic to new shop mechanic: "Tighten the crank pulley to one MILLION ugga duggas! We do NOT want that bitch coming loose! If they want to loosen it, they'll have to use removal tool 621C!"
Eric, I find it weirdly fascinating watching you tear down an engine. To me it's very relaxing and satisfying. Thanks for the videos and your interesting commentary. Take care.
I know why those bearings were worn on the one side - when you managed to turn the engine over with the payloader, it only moved that 1/4 to 1/2 turn, the oil hole likely had rust in it or some sort of damage that ripped the one side only of the bearing. I have 4 engines to tear down this summer too(just for fun) - a 2.8L V6 from an S-10 pickup(1986), a 1984 slant 6, a 1981 chevrolet 305 and a 1986 dodge 318, all except the 318 are rusted solid - they should be fun to tear down, lol. great video, as always!
You see this is the kind of content that we love. Had to get two big machines and a huge breaker bar to get the crank bolt off while crushing the pallet in the process. Awesome stuff really.
Eric, as I watched you struggle with the crank bolt, I flashed back to when I was a yoot working a summer job at a company that sold and serviced big dozers, front-end loaders...all that stuff. When things were slow they would hand me a 400 ft lb torque wrentch and a 4X multiplier and send me out to jerk slack on full grown motor graders. "Torque those lug nuts to 1600 ft lbs, son.," and that's just what I did. So that's all you needed--a 4X multiplier, your 1" breaker bar with a 6' cheater pipe. Bet you could twist the head off that bolt if you had to. Best wishes for continued success! (Give me a shout out when you smile in satisfaction with how much power you have in your hands with a 4X multiplier.)
Most fun toy I ever bought was an old 1974 Cat 930 wheel loader. The previous owner rebuilt the engine, the bucket was straight and everything worked perfectly. Wish I still had it.
Eric, you're so right to underline each and every time to take care of your engines (actually the whole drivetrain!). If you respect your engine by properly warming it up, before going pedal to the metal, it will thank you in most cases with a long life and proper reliability. I really laughed hard when you presented the 3/4'' breaker bar and your special tool made by case. You're a lucky guy to own such great variety of special tools. Greets from Germany! Alex
in my experience, we dont have room for 2 vehicles to loosen things, so we usually just drill it when breathing on it doesnt do it. sometimes we're lucky and can use a crane but you dont have access to that so i wont suggest it. drill or burr the middle out, the tension should come off eventually. also there's the classic "cant be tight if its liquid!'
Eric, two things: 1) You should contact the "Torque Test Channel" about doing a collab and borrowing some of their heavy-hitter impact wrenches for field testing. 2) You need an advisory not to be eating while watching the worst engine teardowns. I almost tossed my cookies (and threw up, too) while watching this vid.
Back in the 30's, there was a Chev inline six that was around 900CID, in a massive COE truck. I'll get some pics this week of it, and post them up somewhere. Probably Twitter, and possibly the community tab here on YT.
Had to pause this as you attempt to break that crank bolt loose and lmfao! Nice I've use a tractor to break bolts loose and now I feel comfort in knowing I'm not the only one that takes wrenching to this extreme! Before I even see what happens congratulations on a solid job done!
That was brilliant the way you got that crank bolt to loosen up! Awesome Eric. Again, it stinks seeing a good piece of equipment go down due to negligence. Nice job getting it apart. See you next time. Big Al.
When I saw it outside I was hoping for just what you did. I’m laughing hysterically and my wife is giving me a look. I told her she wouldn’t understand.
Well that's just great........Now I need a front end loader and a fork lift for my shop. That might be harder than that 1/4" drive set that I snuck passed the old lady last month.
I would have thought the weight of the forklift and an 8 foot pipe over the breaker bar would have been enough, but a front end loader is the sort of excess we can all enjoy. When I was working on tower cranes there were bolts being tightened by use of a flogging spanner and a 1" drive impact wrench, but they were running off a 600cfm compressor, so probably overkill for everyday work round your yard.
Could those grooves in the bearings have come from all the side load when you cracked the main bolt? They look super fresh, like the oil galleys on the crank journals were crammed into the soft material.
10:33 - it looks like viscisoty breakdown. Running a motor too hard, for too too long, at excessive temperatures and RPMs and/or failure to change oil at reasonable intervals, will cause this to happen. It's a shame people drive their cars into the ground. I was a kid once. I have wrecked a few engines through abuse and negligence.
that engine never,,had an oil change, just topped up.. oil turned to greese, oil holes blocked. yes, l/c,s last foever, reliable as a rock, thats why you dont have to service them.. gutless piece of 1950,s tech..
Man, I know from hard experience just how tough your job cab be, and count my blessings that I'm not doing that kind of work anymore. The "seated on the breaker bar" moment deserves to go down in history as one of your best - you made my day!
@@xalty1200 aahh, that explains the looks of the coolant in this engine. The previous owner(s) probably used a bunch of that stuff to seal the leaking head gasket.
I had the same issue when disassembling the crank bolt from my 3rzfe engine i used a propane torch to heat up carefully (not too much because it can burn the harmonic balancer) and baaam it broke loose !!! Gret content 💯👌🏽
Probably my favorite video so far! I’m a huge fan of the older Toyota’s. My first car in High School was a 198O Celica 5 speed, with a 20R. Was definitely entertaining watching you wrestle with the crank bolt. I also loved your comment at the end….”sorry guys, time will not heal your car”. Can’t wait for the next video!!
My wife and I were laughing at the casual nuclear level escalation on that crank bolt. What's the torque spec? 2,025 ft lb? Is that bolt grade 50? What's going on?! If that was a Harbor Freight breaker bar, I'm going to buy one tomorrow. Between that and the Earthquake, they should be sponsor you. Hear that, Harbor Freight? Anyway, my wife and I are lifetime viewers, thanks for the laughs!
OK! That was entertaining! Out on the farm, we had a 1" impact wrench for similar types of stubborn nuts/bolts. Almost needed 2 people to lift/use it. For big tractor tires and other types of heavy machinery. Used a skid steer lifting the tires on/off. Oh, the memories! 😆🙂
Arguably the finest video to date from you, sir! This vid had several firsts, but best by far (for me) was the exquisite removable of the crank bolt! I laughed out loud!!
Without having watched, I'll predict that the engine stopping was a complete surprise, and had nothing to do with basic maintenance. :) Also, the Pun Police might come and pull your pun permit.
GEE SUS, you are Hilarious!!! Persistent and Creative for shure!!! Yep, if your heavy machinery can't do the job; you definately would have taken a trip to the E.R. if you continued to try it by hand or foot. At least I know who to call to get the job done! NOooo, there was no correct tool for this job. It was an E.R. disaster waiting to happen. At least he saw it coming and reversed it back on the block.
I've broken loose stubborn lug nuts with a breaker bar and a 2 ton floor jack pushing up on the handle but youve taken it to a whole new level using heavy lifting equipment, sometimes what you need is a little overkill
One of the cool benefits of a inline engine is the crank journals are not shared with another connecting rod like a v6 or v8 therefore there’s more surface area to lubricant the bearing.
A one inch drive impact wrench is worth it’s weight in gold at times like that. Another trick, before you apply heat, saturate the bolt head with PB Blaster and after a few minutes grab two sledgehammers. Hold one sledgehammer tight against the crank bolt head and then use the other sledgehammer to impact the first one. I learned that trick in 1976 from the old farmers I worked in the truck shop with. Love your channel and learning about the new technology being applied to engines in the 21st century.
After the first couple of attempts my first idea was to use 2 fork lifts exactly like that. So the fact that you did that has me dying lol St. Louisans think alike I guess
Love your channel! You remind me of my younger brother, he went to the hospital a lot when we were kids, but enjoyed everything he did. Have a great day.
11:42 - so you're saying it didn't bring all the boys to the yard... Also, it's always a good sign when you need to use equipment that's bigger than the vehicle the engine came from to work on it.
43:23 😂😂🤣 as you subtlety point to the German word for misery on 4 wheels. Fun video. Using the front loaders to loosen the crank bolt was very Camarataesque. 🥂 👍 👨🔧
I'm sure this started out as something small; low coolant, stuck thermostat, bad water pump, etc. Then they ran it until it got hot, popped the head gasket, and the rest is history. Now it's a boat anchor
Key word is the way you said it, people are lazy, cheap, and just don't care about the maintenance until they ruin it and they get the bill to fix it or go get another one. Worst part is 80% will slice back to the old lack of care and do it to themselves again. I deal with it at work and have been for 30+ years and I have to say that I have watched it get worse 10 cold in the past 10 -15 years. Thanks for sharing your work and time. Will pass it on to everyone and wish you a great Sunday morning.
Man this was a doozy. This poor engine bleed out with a disgusting cesspool of fluid during the entire teardown and to top it out, actual heavy machinery had to be rolled out to break loose the crank bolt.
The Toyota inline 6 is DEFINITELY FAR from "the most reliable engine" people act like it's a ford 300 inline 6 or something. It could never be as reliable as those engines.
This is definitely one of your best teardown episodes that felt like watching a super hero movie. Captain breaker bar and super loaders taking down the crankshaft bolt. That was exciting and fun to watch. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
The only thing i could think when u broke that crank bolt free was "now theres somethin u dont see every day!". That engine looks like it went for a swim with so much rust. Thanks for sharing.
Let’s give a round of applause for that breaker bar. Held up through some incredible torque
thats a very good breaker bar (should promote ) the brand
Harbor freight? haha
not all heros wear caps
and the socket
I was waiting for the head of the bolt to snap off. Maybe it didn't because the wrench was a Snap-On?
Some people use PB Blaster and struggle, others use multiple front end loaders and make AWESOME videos. For anyone who had ever torn an engine down, the "finesse" you use is admirable.

Pffft. No cheater bar, a cheater bucket! 🙃
The Loader certainly helped eliminate most chances of personal injury. Actually brilliant.
😅
😅
Working for you must be a hoot! I can just imagine: "Boss, I can't get this bolt loose" You: "Just a sec, let me get the loader".
Lmao some heavy ass machinery to get a crank bolt lose
Eric will never endanger his workers. He will say "leave it there, later I will put it on UA-cam!"
I was expecting him to get a pipe to put on the breaker bar and comes in with a front end loader LOL!!!!🤣
That has got to be the strongest crank bolt ever!!
Lol
Kinda makes you wonder if they applied superglue on the threads or welded it on there
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
Hr didn’t show the bolt, it would have definitely started to go into plastic deformation.

I wanted to find out if one of those 2 handle 1 inch impacts could take it off but the loader was much more entertaining.

Super satisfying breaker bar on crank bolt "pop" @23:09!!!!
That special tooling is impressive... surprised the bolt itself didn't break.
Or the breaker bar, or the socket. They usually crack so easily.
I thought for sure either the breaker bar was going to snap or the socket was going to explode sending shrapnel everywhere.
Well, it is a Toyota Spec bolt.......
That crank balancer bolt torque spec is 300 ft/lb

Wow, good catch!
This is exactly what I came here to say. It's very clean damage, that was damage from disassembly.
One of our channel motto's is "The right tool for the job, is the one you got". You have definitely carried that to the next level.
You see this is the kind of content that we love. Had to get two big machines and a huge breaker bar to get the crank bolt off while crushing the pallet in the process. Awesome stuff really.
This was one of your best episodes. Trying to loosen that crank bolt was priceless. No telling how much force you put on that bolt. Nice job.
Seeing an engine tear down video pop up, always makes my night!
Right on. This quickly became a favorite channel of mine. Ranking up there with Hickok45.
I wait all week for this, coffee and 44 min of relaxing
Eric, you should call your channel "Auto Engine Autopsy" ! I enjoy the videos and your commentary.
LMMFAO! That’s hysterical! Heavy machinery to get a bolt loose! I’m totally jealous of your toys!
Totally!!!
Tools! Not toys! Lol...
Hands down,
The best 44:29 minutes of the week, thanks
Love this video
Cold case of beer and a new blown engine video is a great start to my Saturday night....
I was not expecting that....... well done!
A bigger airline and fitting in your impact gun will be a big improvement on breaking power of 3/4 impact.
Why do you need more breaking power when you have a front-end loader?
The right tool for the right job. That's my motto! 😁
I would have personaly just gone out and bought a 1" Milwaukee impact
Dayum that was a monster crank bolt! Mr Manly gives this teardown two thumbs WAY UP.
Eric, as I watched you struggle with the crank bolt, I flashed back to when I was a yoot working a summer job at a company that sold and serviced big dozers, front-end loaders...all that stuff. When things were slow they would hand me a 400 ft lb torque wrentch and a 4X multiplier and send me out to jerk slack on full grown motor graders. "Torque those lug nuts to 1600 ft lbs, son.," and that's just what I did. So that's all you needed--a 4X multiplier, your 1" breaker bar with a 6' cheater pipe.

Hi Eric, for sure this is one of the greatest videos you have ever made!!! Cheers from BA, Argentina. Keep the good stuff coming!!!
Well that's just great........Now I need a front end loader and a fork lift for my shop. That might be harder than that 1/4" drive set that I snuck passed the old lady last month.

And larger opening air hose fittings.

Never thought I’d see one of these being torn down. Thirsty engines but indestructible… well not this one.
Awesome to see a 80 series engine teardown. I just pulled the 3F-E out of my 91 and I really want to do a full teardown now.
Scotty Kilmer is crying his eyes out right now. He's probably popped 2 nitroglycerin tabs, 2mg of Xanax and 3 shots of Jack Daniels.

That small air hose doesn't flow enough air for your big gun to work like it's supposed to.
With high flow fittings, it might be ok. Running unregulated (or regulated really high) small hoses are less of an issue.
The ultimate breaker bar testing series video!!!
Have never seen someone use an excavator to remove a bolt! So cool.
Don't think I've seen a forklift being used to hold an engine down, either.

Love the tear down! would love to see a vg30de or vg30dett teardown
One of the cool benefits of a inline engine is the crank journals are not shared with another connecting rod like a v6 or v8 therefore there’s more surface area to lubricant the bearing.
The groove damage on the main berings I think were due to turning the crank a bit when untightning the pulley bolt.

Another trick, before you apply heat, saturate the bolt head with PB Blaster and after a few minutes grab two sledgehammers.

The torque required to loosen the crank bolt must have been massive.
Prob north of 2000lbs
5 MILLION mile lbs
We need a tool with the power of 2 loaders! Something that will fit on the bottom drawer of a toolbox. Any suggestions? Lol
There is a tool. It's called a 4 to 1 torque multiplier and i have one in the bottom of my tool box.
The dance of the front-end loaders was worth the price of admission all by itself! Priceless.
Best one so far, especially with the diesel breaker bar extension... 😂
I had a good laugh at this teardown. The pallate collapsing under the strain was gold, and without a 2nd thought, you just kept going. Loved it!
11:42 - so you're saying it didn't bring all the boys to the yard... Also, it's always a good sign when you need to use equipment that's bigger than the vehicle the engine came from to work on it.
43:23 😂😂🤣 as you subtlety point to the German word for misery on 4 wheels. Fun video. Using the front loaders to loosen the crank bolt was very Camarataesque. 🥂 👍 👨🔧
I'm sure this started out as something small; low coolant, stuck thermostat, bad water pump, etc. Then they ran it until it got hot, popped the head gasket, and the rest is history. Now it's a boat anchor
That crank bolt "work" was fantastic! And IT WORKED!! 80 Series cruisers are my favourite cars, 4.2 diesel though. Good fun to watch, as usual.
Tight bolt removal ingenuity. Just gota love it.
Thanks for great video's 👍
this was a fantastic display of proper diesel equipment usage thank you sir for the blueprint on combating unruly crank bolts lol
Who knew the 621C had a ratcheting function . . .
Holy crap! That was the most entertaining and epic crank bolt removal ever! Well done Sir!
I was expecting many things...... I was not expecting a pair of articulated loaders!
The most radical bolt losening i ever witnessed in my life
A good rebuild and a massive turbo. She'd be good to go.
With new rings gaps for increase cylinder temps
@@kinghados with that wear, the ring gaps have probably already self adjusted.
Key word is the way you said it, people are lazy, cheap, and just don't care about the maintenance until they ruin it and they get the bill to fix it or go get another one. Worst part is 80% will slice back to the old lack of care and do it to themselves again. I deal with it at work and have been for 30+ years and I have to say that I have watched it get worse 10 cold in the past 10 -15 years. Thanks for sharing your work and time. Will pass it on to everyone and wish you a great Sunday morning.
That must have taken around 3000 foot-pounds of torque to break that bolt free.
So tight that it's like as if superglue was used on the threads
@@chuckycheese84 I immediately thought of Krol Oil. It will loosen any threaded part. Eventually
Brings a whole new meaning to an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object! Epic vid
Man this was a doozy.
This poor engine bleed out with a disgusting cesspool of fluid during the entire teardown and to top it out, actual heavy machinery had to be rolled out to break loose the crank bolt.
@ 11:30 the coolant looked like when draining the "black water" tank on a RV.
The Toyota inline 6 is DEFINITELY FAR from "the most reliable engine" people act like it's a ford 300 inline 6 or something. It could never be as reliable as those engines.
Amen.
This is definitely one of your best teardown episodes that felt like watching a super hero movie. Captain breaker bar and super loaders taking down the crankshaft bolt. That was exciting and fun to watch. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
That was some insane bolt loosening! Can’t believe nothing broke. Glad you didn’t give up; that was entertaining!
I’m very impressed you were able to use your heavy equipment to loosen that crank bolt.
The only thing i could think when u broke that crank bolt free was "now theres somethin u dont see every day!". That engine looks like it went for a swim with so much rust. Thanks for sharing.
