Mr.Rednex got any tips???

Anyone removing the harmonic balancer, you’ll need at least 6-7 foot cheater bar.
I’ve heard of the crank bolt being called Jesus bolt but this was more like Thor bolt. Factory torque 75ftlb + 180 degrees + 10yrs rust = 1,000 ftlb
Damn, sorry to hear that. If you got the two reverse torx bolts inside the head that go down into the timing cover out on each side, I would think you could pull it straight out. If not then pulling the heads is rough doing it in vehicle, if you have to pull the heads let me know I will give you some tips as you have to pull the lower intakes off before you can remove the heads to get enough clearance to raise the head up out of the truck.
