DIY Remove eccentric shaft bolt

Just thought I would share. I finally opened up the rotary. After I broke a 19mm wrench and a socket adapter, I bought an impact socket. My 2 ft breaker wasn't enough, so I got creative...



FYI, I'm in the middle of cleaning out my garage and all of the car parts off of my floor so my wife and I can park in there this winter, so don't mind the mess.

So much stuff from the car before the V8 swap, I'll probably just toss it out.

There's loctite on the threads. Next time put some heat into it and it'll come out a lot easier.
