Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
s believers in nmpact guns work smarter not harder. when i get to a pulley bolt, i need only 4 tools. my impact, soccket, breaker bar and pulley holder. that bolt comes off in less than 30 seconds. you brobably spend that adjusting your vice grips. and then you have to do physical labor trying to get the bolt to break lose

yeah thats the same tool. i have never seen it at autozone here in my area but thanks for the part number for it through them. that is an autozone part number and brand. i guess i go there too much if i know their part numbers huh?

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
this is the most drawn out thread for a simple question.
1. buy pulley holder.
2. crack the bolt loose with a breaker bar.

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
umm... you may want to take a look at that Honda manual again. Because in mine it shows to use the pulley holding tool and lists a Honda part number. To me, the bolt you are describing sounds like the maintenance bolt you remove to align/hold the rear balance shaft in place when changing the belts, not something you use when trying to hold the crank in place while loosening the pulley bolt.

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
Nah Boss!!! I started this thread just to ask that can I open the bolt by cranking the car also on Amazon its 24.99 I m ready to pay as its really cheap only thing hampering me is $0.01 as Free shipping starts at $25
I will buy the tool probably from Amazon or autozone and will post you update regarding about my experience with the T/B job as TouringAccord is the MAN!!! excellent write up and awesome step by step approach.
Lets see how i will figure it out in my case if I need any help during that job I will post the answers thanks for all of yours help, input and feedback.

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
yeah one of my neighbors has a 3/4 inch impact and a good compressor but it cant even take off the large axle nuts. my 3/8 drive IR impact can get those loose but i only did it once tryin to see what it could do.

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
why wait for the weekend? or is that when you get the tool? i'd be out there gettin ready for the delivery truck to arrive...you know, get it all apart to the point that you need the tool then open the tool and use it as soon as you get it. a timing belt should only take 4.5 hors or so. start to finish

I will start working on it Sat will take apart every thing and on Sun morninng will start the T/B and water pump I have a big big plan for the project as I am planning to replace all Seals, Gaskets, Belts and W/P.
Lets see how long it will take me to achieve this project.
Thanks for all of your support, input and help.

either way, I still would advise doing it that way, but to each their own I guess...

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
keep in mind, the Civic has a different torque than the Accord. In the Civic, IIRC, you torque it to something like 80 ft/lbs then turn the bolt another 90* or whatever, it's been a while since I did a timing belt on the Civic. So it may not be torqued to the same amount as the Accord is which is 181 ft/lbs.
either way, I still would advise doing it that way, but to each their own I guess...

Civics and Accords both have different Torque specs and its relatively easier to budge on Civic rather on an Accord, probably after digging and from all the input right way is the Crank pulley holding Tool/Breaker bar without having Air tools else is just ...
So I bought the pulley holding tool

Re: Removing the Crank Pulley Bolt
Got the Autozone Honda Harmonic Holder tonight. Got the 24" breaker bar in place. Got the front end up high enough to get a good angle and pulled. Heard a nice loud crack.
The only good thing about Sears is Craftsman tools. So, before I break another tool, on a 95 V6, does the crank pulley nut loosen in the counter clockwise direction?
