Been fighting with serpentine belt on DS1 Camaro.

Awwww comeon mud! Do a dual overhead timing belt then. Won't be that bad then ha

I still got to get the fill plug loose on the rear end of the tundra. I've been reading up on chemicals and had an idea from the crc freeze spray. Since I have access to fire extinguishers I got ahold of a 10lb co2 extinguisher. My thinking is, if the freeze spray freezes bolts to break them loose I'll try with co2 (dry ice). Freeze it with 10lbs which is way more than a can of spray and it's free. Extinguisher is sitting on my back seat right now, just gotta try it

Just something I read, haven't tried.
A sharp smack or two face-on the head of the plug with a small-ish hammer will make them much easier to loosen. It’s just enough to compress the seal ring a tiny bit more, and break the bond. Good luck

Impact.

Impact.

Nope didn't work. And no putting a large vise grip with a floor jack on it and bending the vice grip enough to shift the truck didn't work either

No air impact but corded and cordless I tried

Still gotta try that. That's what my director (cheif engineer) at work said

What the hell did you do to that thing?

How about heat and beat?

Me, I didn't do shit.ha. I thought about heat but don't really want to go there with 3 quarts of oil on the other side the bolt. Just don't feel right. It's the only thing on that truck that has not had the liquid or grease changed, well except for bearings.

I imagine it looking like chocolate milk too. It'll pull whatever you put behind it. Can't beat the 2uzfe under the hood just don't want to grenade the rearend
