3000 gas timing idler gear removal?

gears · Mar 2, 2015

ok, so is the timing idler gear LH thread or is it torqued 270* past 300 ft/lbs!?

Snapon 6100 won't budge it and before I break out the cheaters I thought I'd ask. (of course I'm posting before I dig through the manual - I left it at work).

It is right hand thread. I've never had one come apart that hard.

Wack the head of the bolt. Give it a pretty good
hit. Vibration will sometimes knock a stuck bolt
loose.

Manual (Ford service) simply lists it as "self locking bolt" torque to spec on page 68 = 100-105ft/lb

I'll give it a whack and try a breaker bar on it.
