Question about Cars & Trucks

Can't remove crankshaft damper bolt from 2001 Taurus OHV

I'm trying to remove the crankshaft damper on a 2001 Taurus OHV (Vulcan engine). I removed the pulley, but cannot loosen the damper bolt....tried an impact wrench. I also tried locking the damper in place using a box wrench on one of the pulley bolts, locking it against the frame while turning the damper bolt with a breaker bar. It didn't budge. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

Thanks, had already tried, thinking it might be LH. Pretty sure it's RH though. Giving up for now,

How to chg alternator on 2002 ford taurus 24v dohc 3.0

ctionsThings You'll Need

Flywheel holding tool
New alternator
Socket wrench set
Torque wrench

- 1Determine which alternator your Ford Taurus will need. You'll want to be sure the new alternator is compatible with your Taurus's engine. Models made from 1986 to 1991 have a 2.5 L HSC, 3.0 L Vulcan or 3.8 L engine. The 2.5 L engine was dropped for 1992 to 1995 models, and post-1995 models will have a 3.0 L engine.
- 2Disconnect the negative battery cable with a socket wrench. Release the tension on the accessory drive belt so that you can remove the drive belt from the pulley.
- 3Take off the mounting bolt on the right side of the alternator with a socket wrench and remove the bracket for the power steering hose. Remove the mounting bolts on top of the alternator, the front passenger wheel and tire assembly and the front fender splash shield. Remove the alternator splash shield with a socket wrench and take off the inspection cover for the torque converter.
- 4Mount a tool to hold the flywheel so you can remove the crankshaft pulley bolt and crankshaft pulley. Lower the alternator so you can unplug its electrical connections. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor and Oxygen sensor connector. Remove the lower alternator mounting bolt and B+ connector nut to remove the alternator.
- 5Install the new alternator assembly by reversing the above procedure. Use a torque wrench to tighten the B+ connector nut to 71 in. lbs. and the lower alternator bolt to 18 foot pounds. Torque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 74. foot pounds, the upper alternator bolts to 18 foot pounds and the nut for the power steering hose bracket to 13 foot pounds.

Hi i need to know 2001 ford taurus top dead centre mark on crank pully

Due to the lack of timing marks you need to remove the center bolt from the damper on the crankshaft and take a flashlight or a laser pointer and look at the keyway for the damper and point the keyway to 12 O'Clock and that is Top Dead Center.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Bolt on crankshaft to remove clockwise or counterclockwise?

Crankshaft Damper/Pulley counterclockwise to remove pulley:
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Remove the drive belts from the crankshaft damper.
Remove the crankshaft damper-to-crankshaft bolt. Hold the crankshaft stationary by placing a suitable tool in the ring gear teeth on the flywheel. Fig. 1: Use a breaker bar to remove the crankshaft damper bolt
Fig. 2: The crankshaft can be held stationary by using a suitable tool to place between the flywheel teeth
Fig. 3: Be sure to lubricate the threads of the crankshaft damper bolt to obtain a proper torque reading
Remove the crankshaft damper from the crankshaft by pulling it straight off the shaft. A puller may be required to remove the damper from the shaft. Be careful not to lose the woodruff key when removing the crankshaft damper. Fig. 4: The crankshaft damper can sometimes be pulled from the shaft by hand
Fig. 5: A puller may be required to remove the crankshaft damper
NOTE: If working on a VE30DE or VQ30DE engine, it would be a good idea to replace the crankshaft oil seal when the crankshaft damper is removed. Fig. 6: The timing chain cover oil seal should be replaced whenever the crankshaft damper is removed; this seal is leaking severely
Fig. 7: This crankshaft damper may have a problem sealing properly due to the groove that was worn into it from the seal
To install:
Install the crankshaft damper onto the shaft, making sure the woodruff key is in place. Dip the damper bolt in fresh oil and torque the crankshaft damper-to-crankshaft bolt to the following specifications:
- VG30E engine — 90–98 ft.lbs. (123–132 Nm.)
- VE30DE engine — 123–130 ft.lbs. (167–177 Nm.)
- VQ30DE engine — 29–36 ft.lbs. (39–49 Nm.) followed by 60–66°clockwise angle torque
Install the drive belts to the crankshaft damper; be sure to properly set belt tension.

Need a diagram to replace the crank pulley on a 1990 Oldsmobile regency 98 3.8 liter

This is what I found on the 98 Regency instructions: Crankshaft Damper REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the belts from the crankshaft pulley.
Remove the crankshaft damper attaching bolt.
Attach a suitable puller to the damper and remove the damper from the crankshaft. NOTE: On certain models, removal of the cooling fan, fan shroud or radiator may be necessary for clearance. WARNING
DO NOT pry on the damper assembly to remove it from the vehicle or component damage will result. Remove the damper using a puller only.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Torque the damper bolt to specification. Fig. 1: One example of a crankshaft damper puller tool
Fig. 2: Removing the crankshaft damper bolt Fig. 3: Do not attempt to pry on the damper to remove it from the crankshaft, use a puller only Fig. 4: Removing the damper from the crankshaft Fig. 5: When installing the damper, thread the bolt by hand first to prevent cross-threading

Looking to replace my alternator on a 1999 ford taurus but dont know how to loosen the belt

To loosen the belt use a 15mm socket on the tensioner pulley. Turn clockwise if you have a OHV engine or counterclockwise if your engine is OHC. Turning this bolt will release pressure on the belt allowing you to remove it from the other pulleys.To identify the tensioner pulley it is just above and to the right of your crankshaft.
Hope this was helpful.

Does my 2001 saturn sl 1.9l have a timing belt or chain?

It is a chain and its not the easiest but it could be worse.It is as follows:
1.9L SOHC Engine

Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning of this section.
Drain the engine oil.
Remove or disconnect the following:
- Negative battery cable
- Right front wheel and splash shield
NOTE: Place a 1 in. x 1 in. x 2 in. long block of wood between the torque strut and cradle to ease removal and installation of the torque engine mount.
- 3 right side upper engine torque axis to front cover nuts and the 2 mount to midrail bracket nuts, allowing the powertrain to rest on the block of wood
- Drive belt, tensioner and pulley
- Power steering pump attaching bolts and set the pump to the side with the lines still attached
- A/C compressor from the bracket and set aside with the lines attached
- Camshaft cover
- Using a strap wrench or a piece of wood wedged between the damper spoke and the lower side of the engine front cover, hold the damper and remove the bolt. With a suitable 3-jaw puller and the slots cast into the damper, pull the crankshaft damper/pulley assembly from the crankshaft.
- Install the special oil seal replacement tool SA9104E, to be sure the front crankshaft timing sprocket is held firmly in place and prevent guide damage. Install with the flat side towards the crankshaft sprocket.
- Remove or disconnect the following:
  - Front 4 oil pan bolts and cut the seal away from the front cover
  - Front cover bolts and carefully pry the cover away from the cylinder block at the pry location tabs, which are provided. Remove the cover from under the hood or through the wheel well
  - Front cover oil seal from the cover
  NOTE: During timing chain and sprocket removal, position the crankshaft 90 degrees past Top Dead Center (TDC), to be sure the pistons will not contact the valves upon assembly.
- Carefully rotate the crankshaft clockwise so the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket and keyway align with the main bearing cap split line (90 degrees past TDC).
- Remove or disconnect the following:
  - Timing guides and tensioner
  - Camshaft sprocket bolt, using a 7⁄8 in. (21mm) wrench to hold the camshaft. Then, remove the timing chain and camshaft sprocket
  - Crankshaft sprocket
  To install:
- Inspect the chain for wear and damage. Check the inside diameter of the chain, it should be no more than 16.77 in. (426mm). Inspect the chain guides for wear or cracks and the timing sprockets for teeth or key wear. Replace components as necessary.
- Verify that the crankshaft keyway is positioned 90 degrees clockwise past TDC (keyway at 3 o'clock). The keyway should align with the split between the bearing cap and engine block.
- Bring the camshaft up to No. 1 TDC by loosely installing the sprocket and rotating the sprocket until the timing pin can be inserted. The camshaft contains wrench flats to assist in turning the shaft. The dowel pin should be at 12 o'clock when the camshaft is at TDC.
- Install the crankshaft sprocket, then rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 90 degrees up to No. 1 TDC (keyway at 12 o'clock).
- Position the chain under the crankshaft sprocket and over the camshaft sprocket. The timing chain should be positioned so that 1 silver link plate aligns with the reference mark on the camshaft sprocket and the other aligns with the downward tooth (at the 6 o'clock position) on the crankshaft sprocket. The letters FRT on the camshaft sprocket must face forward, away from the cylinder head and excess chain slack should be located on the tensioner side of the block.
- Install or connect the following:
  - Timing pin to verify proper alignment of the camshaft and sprocket. Torque the sprocket bolt to 75 ft. lbs. (102 Nm).
  NOTE: Do not allow the camshaft retaining bolt to torque against the timing pin or cylinder head damage will result.
  - Timing chain guides with the words FRONT facing out. Install the fixed guide first and verify the chain is snug against the guide, then install the pivot guide. Torque the bolts to 19 ft. lbs. (26 Nm) and verify that the pivot guide moves freely
  - Retract the tensioner plunger and pin the ratchet lever using a 1⁄8 in. No. 31 drill bit inserted in the alignment hole at the bottom front of the component
  - Tensioner. Torque the bolts to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm), then remove the drill bit
- Make one final check to verify all components are properly timed, then remove all timing pins.
- Install or connect the following:
  - Seat a new front cover oil seal using the installation tool with a press
  - If the engine front cover casting or assembly is replaced, the 3 torque axis mount studs should also be replaced. Torque the new studs to 19 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).

Well the first thing is to forget what the manual says you need a threequrter air ratchet to take off the locker nut not a impact wrench. Put a block under the weels then put it in gear this well put presher on the flexplate and ceep the moter from turing over then take off the nut now you will need to go by the book when puting back togather.I would put a beed of hightem seller then put your seal in and let set for atleast 24 to 36 hours for best seal you can get.well I hope this will help good luck on your project.

"Heat" and air impact is the trick. Get it as hot as you can and hit it with air impact. Be careful not to burn yourself!

its420_us · Answer 6 · 5/12/2009 12:00:00 AM

You will have to brace the crankshaft somehow, either by way of the flywheel, or the pulley. The trick to getting the bolt to break is "heat". Propane will sometimes work, but it's generally not hot enough. You want to get that bolt glowing if you can, and hit it with air impact then. Be careful not to burn yourself!

I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck on your repair.
