Im at the shop right now, and having trouble taking off the bolt for the crank, any ideas how to do this?>

 

is the motor in the car or out?

 

impact gun or you can wedge a big flat head screw dirver in the flywhell and use a breaker bar

 

sometimes you need to heat it up with a torch, and then hit it with an impact gun before it will come off.

 

I tired sticking a flathead into the flywheel, then impact gun but still nothing

yes the motor is out of the car, Im going to try and torch it right quick.. brb

 

try lowering the torque setting on your gun, then set it to tighten. Then hit the bolt for 2-3 sec, then switch to loosen. Should come right off. Works for me every time. HTH

 

I tried with an air gun and PB blaster for about an hour and it didn't budge. Hit it with a torch until it just starts getting cherry and quickly hit it with the gun. It came off first try with that. Make sure you torque that bitch back down though, I didn't get it all the way and I was going down the road for a test drive, The car started vibrating and the battery light came on. I killed it and coasted to a stop only to find the pulley barely on, the key and alternator belt gone, and myself pissed. Good thing I know how to Jerry rig some ****... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1026040

 

Use a high quality impact gun.. It should come off no problem..

 

3/4 in impact gun

 

perfect..its off, how about taking the head off? I have the timing belt and everything apart, how do I pull the head?

yeah the bolts need to be removed and put back in, in a sequence.

 

I stick a screwdriver through the crank pulley then under the lip of the oil pan. Then go at the bolt.

 

Put a long breaker bar on it, then let the breaker bar handle rest on the ground, put the car in first gear, but then push the car backwards, this will spin the engine backwards, loosening the crank bolt.





(just kidding)

Sawzall that pulley off then, J/K
