Crank Bolt removal

[Battle_Tested]

I need to get my crank bolt off my 4.2. Timing belt is still on with the crank locked with the crank pin also have the cam lock bar in place. Question is will that crank pin hold up while trying to get that crank bolt lose? Is there a better way to do it?

Yes it'll hold that's what it is for

Yes, crank pin installed (assuming it's fully seated) is the only way you're going to get the crank bolt off. I used a big breaker bar to get mine off.

Crank bolt is off. I made sure the crank pin was fully seated before I attacked it with a breaker bar.
