You have an open front differential, you will have to jam both front rotors.

You also need to select a taller gear.... 1st gives the mechanical advantage to the engine, put it in high gear and the wheels have the advantage.

God,this car is so frustrating. Now the 1/2 drive won't work because hole got big. Its like the bolt hole was made of thin aluminium or someshit.

Can I use a socket for the crank bolt? If so what size it is?.The 13/16 is too small

Only frustrating because you haven't been there before... Most of us could have told you that was going to happen.

It's a metric bolt... The closest standard size (which is really close and I use often) is a 7/8"

Thanks RealMcCoy. Welp another trip to Harbor Freight. Either 7/8 or 22mm,right?

Well guys I manage to undo the crank bolt.

Now the damn cover is still stuck.Do I have to undo this tensioner?

yes, remove the power steering tensioner and the idler pulley for the other belt.

Ok,I manage to take it out. Now I cleaned out the gunk/grease and insects from the timing components. Now I notice that the belts and timing tensioners are original witch let me to believe that this car has never had a 60k service and is now 118k.Would be a goddamn perfect time to do that if I only had money😭. Any tips before removing or loosening the timing belt?
