ill check sears, I need one different than the typical hex shaped holder because inside the pulley its round. I tried a big craftsman screwdriver but it bent it. The TQ is 145ftlbs. I have one of the new style crank bolts with a 10 printed on the end

r.etheridge

WRONG..... look at the link I have posted for the pulley, the center of it is round, not hex shaped

Just use an impact wrench.

You might be able to get away with leaving the car in gear and having a friend press the brakes while you torque (or remove) the bolt. Of course this is assuming the engine is in the car.

How is pushing the brakes going to stop the harmonic balancer from turning? lol

r.etheridge

the engine is out.

r.etheridge

he said hold the brakes im assuming because if the car were to come out of gear the car would roll foward and over you if you were applying that much TQ

Rylan

Ohhhh okay haha makes sense.

Can you not use an impact gun with a torque stick for the correct about of torque needed?
