OK I searched and read and everything.

What I am using because of the searches is a 150psi 33 gallon compressor with a titanium Impact Gun 1000ft./lbs.

I am going at it with a 17mm Deep Impact Socket and it wont break Free. Everyone tells me this gun should have done it easily even my friend that owns it.

Do I have to hold the flywheel? The pulley isnt turning. Is it the wrong socket? Do I need to loosen the hex deeper then the front 17 or what?

Engine is a d15b7

LMK ASAP

bump for right now

 

I always put a large screwdriver or prybar in one of the teeth on the fly-wheel to lock the crank from movement. although the impact should break it free w/o IMO.
*spray some PB Blaster or other penetrating solvent on it and let it soak for 10-15 min.

 

Don't ever put a screw driver in the flywheel, that's one of the easiest ways to break it.

If the pully isent turning it's fine, you only need to hold it down when using a long *** breaker bar or something to that effect.

I dont know why it isent coming out tho, your right it should be, keep at it and maybe try heating it up or the penetrating oil.

 

Yes, lock up the flywheel, which can be tricky, and if you have access to a breaker bar, use it! You may want to even stand on the bar for extra weight, cuz my H22 crank pulley boat was no walk in the park.

 

spray some pb blaster in it
took me like 10min to remove my with an amp pro impact gun.

just keep impacting the bolt until it comes loose

 

keep um coming I am going to impact the ******* thing for 30 min otherwise i think im going out for a torch

If hes using an Impact gun theres no reason to, the only time you want to do that is if your using a breaker bar, which shoulds like what your going to have to do because your impact wont get it out.

Out of curiousity what size air lines are you using to your gun? If there small they could be causing a restriction and not letting enough volume get to your impact and not allowing you to take full advantage of it.

If you end up using the breaker bar methode read the post in my sig about how to remove the pully its basicly the "Right way" to do it. You shouldent do it any other way unless you want to risk damage to your motor by busting something by doing it half assed. Just My Opinion

 

Wow, this is sad, everyone is telling you the incorrect way to remove a honda crank pulley bolt. Some yes will come off with a zap of an impact gun. But most of the time they are real hard to get off. There is a special crank pulley holder for hondas.
heres the link.

All you need is a breaker bar for your 17 mm 1/2 drive and one for the crank holder. This is makes it real easy. Also it definately worth buying since it works on almost all hondas.

 

I just broke my 17mm Deep socket, Going to friends house to pick up a Super heavy duty 17mm socket.

 

vaperformance is correct. I have the Honda crank tool and it is the CORRECT way to take off the crank pulley bolt. If your bolt is not coming off, there may be a problem and the impact gun is the best way to make it worse.

 

Just to finish the post with what happened in case somebody searches later and has this problem.

Exact events that took the ******* bolt out.

I hit it with IR impact gun for 3 mins. on and off on and off. The socket and bolt got hot from impacting,
I got a 1/2" breaker bar and put it on there with 17mm Deep Impact (snapon) socket and some extensions.
I jammed a screwdriver into the flywheel through the starter hole.
Went at it with the breaker bar Pushing hard but I had no extra leverage and I was by myself so the screwdriver kept popping out.
After about 10 min or so I got the impact gun again let er rip and it came right off.

SUMMARY:
If impact dont work try a breaker bar, Seriously. Then go back to impact

 

Take off the fly wheel cover. and Jam a prybar between the teeth of the fly wheel and wedge the pry bar between the engine and Teeth of the flywheel.





Then take a Breaker bar and add on a nice solid pipe and push like hell

Agreed. The tool makes it a snap. I can't beleive there are posted pictures of a pry bar stuffed in there...lol..thats awesome. Helms shows the pry bar method as well.

 

alright the screw driver idea is stupid as hell, the holder on amazon is a great idea, if you woulde not like to wait for that. but when we are working on a customers car out of house and one of us dosent have this nifty little tool, we take a 2x4 and cut it into a wedge shape about a foot long. makeing a gradual ramp shape about an inch thick to about 3 inches. you place the peice of wood between the pulley and the closet bracket, (we use the AC bracket) and use a heavy hammer and put a good amount of effort into wedging the peice of 2x4 into the space bewteen the pulley and bracket. done correctly that pulley will not move, throw a breaker bar on it and your done. the wood is a good idea because of the "giving it has" with the ability to give out before any metal on what you are working on, so there is little chance of breaking something. unlike the holding flywheel idea with a tool not made for such.. good luck, and make sure you are going in the right direction. AutoZone told a customer of mine that the bolt is a reverse thread. he snapped the bolt inside of the crank and i had to remove it (that friggin sucked but i developed a way to do it, if you come across the same problem as a snapped bolt pm me and ill give you a quote.)

 

i just cranked the hell out of it for about 3 min and it came off, we also did were we would try to loosen it then tighten it then loosen then tighten to try to loosen it up, BUT that could brake it so watch out if u try that, and i would not try the screw driver because i could see the next thread being how do i take off my flywheel

Incorrect, I never once told him the bastard *** way of doing it. Im honestly surprised he dident break his flywheel while he was at it.

Check out my sig I did a whole post on the RIGHT way to do it.
