Having trouble with my TJ not been able to get it to turn over. The battery is good so it’s not that but wondering if there is a place I can wrench onto to manually turn the motor over and ensure it’s free. Thanks for any help!
Hoping it's not seized
- Thread starter cclarke802
- Start date
You can use the harmonic balancer bolt as pictured above. I belive it's a 3/4 socket.
What make you think its seized? Be aware if you have a hydro locked engine from coolant filled cylindersfrom a crcked head,blown head gasket or?? you need to be cautious trying to crank it over with the starter. If thats a concern possibly, Id start by pullingl the spark plugs and try cranking it over with the crank bolt as pictured by Eastbloc. if its water drown it will spit water out the plug holes. At least you can rule that one out.
OP
No no hydro lock I’m 85% sure it’s a bad starter but I had been in an accident (different vehicle) and hadn’t started it for a couple months and just want to make sure it’s moving freely before throwing money at parts
