Re: 1996 camry 4 cylinder

An alternative to bumping the starter to loosen the crank bolt is using some pipe to extend a breaker bar and a chain wrench which is wrapped around the flat spot on the crank pulley (not the pullys themselves). This is a good method to use since you will have to have a way of torquing the bolt upon assembly. The starter bump only works for loosening and then you have to find a way to hold the crank for torqueing the crank bolt.
