question about doing a t-belt...

[T-Bone]

If the radiator is out of the way is there room to fit an impact gun in there to buzz the crank bolt off? the impact uses a 1/2 inch socket.

NOt sure, but if you can't fit the impact, use a 1/2" rachet with a 3' pipe slid over the handle. This'll give you all the torque you need. You'll need the car in 5th gear with someone standing on the brakes though.

Yes, an Impact Gun should fit in there. I've done mine a couple of times.
Depends on the type of Gun though.

ok cool, another thing i was thinking is do i have to pull the radiator to do the t-belt? if i dont use an impact gun.

I did pull the radiator when I replaced the timing belt on my car. It may not be necessary, but it does give you a lot more room to work, not to mention much easier access, and it's not difficult to do at all.

It is handier to pull the rad but not necessary. With the rad in you can still get to the pulley but you need a few extensions.
