Also an Big Powerfull Impact would be easier but not everyone has one at home, so heres how to do it for the rest of us.

Tools Needed.
Harmonic Damper Pulley Holder Snap on Part# Stock YA6010 $65.95
Two Breaker Bars
17mm Socket (I think)
Extension for breaker bar (8ft pipe is my favorite for this application)

Steps needed:
These may vary slightly by vehicle but this is for my car 95 Honda del sol si
(01) First off insert the harmonic dampener holder into the pulley and attach the breaker bar and wedge it into the ground or frame (some place solid!!!)
(02) Stick the 17mm socket with an extension though the plastic shroud in the drivers side wheel well. (I took off the wheal to make it easier and placed the car on jack stands)
(03) Take your long *** piece of pipe onto your extension in a way you can get lots and lots of leverage on it. (counter-clockwise)
(04) Put a little bit of pressure on it and MAKE SURE YOUR OTHER BREAKER BAR WONT MOVE!!!!!!! (If it does on the next step you can get seriously hurt if your not careful!!!)
(05) Take a deep breath
(06) PUSH with all your might on that bar, (counteclockwise) alternate between Pushing on it and just jumping on it for fun and leverage of course but be careful you don’t fall on your *** when it does break free.
(07) When it does come off, RELAX! and have a cold one!
(08) Curse the midget who put the ****er in there!

ITS NOT OVERTORQED! The manual states it should be in with (I cant seem to find it right now most likely cause I don’t car enough to look) but it’s a LOT

Questions feel free to ask! But this should FINALY clear up the issue Thank You Good Bye **** off Good Luck

I am facing some problems using a breaker bar. I ended up breaking the extension. I am not sure if the crank pulley nut is to be turned clockwise to loosen or counterclockwise. I have browsed a lot of posts and everyone forgets to mention that. It would help a lot. I have a Accord 92 Ex</TD></TR></TABLE>

I know this is a little late, but for everyone else out there, its counter clockwise.

Step 1.) Remove bolt with 3/4" impact gun in 1-2 seconds.

i ACTUALLY tried this today and it didnt work.

it just turned the motor over. in this case, u stop the motor from turning over, use a gear wrench and a long *** mother ****ing breaker bar.

I would strongly recommend an impact wrench with liberal use of Penetrating oil for a couple days or weeks before the attempt.

The nut now fits into the pulley, the 17mm deep socket fits through the nut's threads, and the nut also sticks out far enough for a big-*** crescent wrench to grab it.

To loosen the pulley bolt, wedge the bigass crescent wrench handle against the driveway, put the 17mm + breaker bar onto the bolt, sit down in front of the car, grab the bumper with your hands, and kick/stomp the breaker bar until the bolt pops.

The same 2" shaved nut worked on the D16Z6 when I needed it this year. Great success!

2) Remove a spark plug and then fill the cylinder with rope when the piston is at its lowest position. Then use your 24" breaker bar with a 3' metal pipe extender to get the most leverage.

Good luck.

I have a O/A torch, but I'm a bit worried about using it on the car. Maybe heat the bolt for 30 seconds then try the impact wrench again? Any other advice?

BTW I'd probably just use the Acetylene side of the torch. I'm pretty sure I'd melt the bolt if I turned on the oxygen.
