We tried and tried, but couldnt get that damper off.
But the C.A.S. cost us $80.
Sooo......lets give it to someone else to fix, eh?
Cheers for the help fellas, that 'cool it down with water' trick works a treat.

You need a big 3 jaw gear puller. That's what I use anyway.
$80 for a CAS? Faaarrrrk....

I put a big arse breaker bar on the bolt and the other end on the chassis rail and kick the engine to crack it. But a bit of pipe on a normal ratchet would work as well.
Just make sure it's on the correct side of the engine bay to undo the bolt, not tighten it...

LOL, I had that thought! But was afraid Id break something!
Oh wait! I did! One SWG 1/2" breaker bar. Cracked the head off it. Lifetime warranty means a new one for free.
Dont diss the SWG stuff though. That 1/2" socket set has been through hell and the only thing that has broken has been the bar. Maybe because there was a piece of pipe on it.........
I still use my Sidchrome anyday.

Yeah I've only done it with a breaker bar that reaches the rail. Dunno where I got it from but it's come in handy.

no matter which way you put the breaker bar you cannot tighten the crank bolt unless you can get the motor to spin backwards lol. but if you face the handle toward the drivers side you may risk it flying off and hitting the bonnet or something. plus ive replaced a bazzillion of those C.A.S and sometimes those bolts are very very tight (rattle guns often struggle ).good luck

Its ok fellas, the car has been booked into a mechanic so he can sort it out.
I did have a go with the rattle gun first, it obviously didnt work either.

If you have too much in the way to rest the breaker bar on a chassis rail, put the handle of the bar near the ground. Turn the power steering pump over with a screwdriver till the slack is taken up at he bar. Crank it for like a 1/4 of a sec. May take 2 or 3 goes to get it to budge.
DO NOT get a mate to hold it in position!

Have a read of this thread Mello:

A couple of other things to try are swapping the fuel pump and e.f.i relays with ones that have done less work (e.g horn relay) if every thing in the c.a.s. circuit is o.k.
