Ok.... this is my situation. I have my motor on a engine stand with out a flywheel so, i cant figure out a way to get the crank NOt to turn so that i can get the bolt off. Any one have any suggestions? Im trying to get it off, so i can do the Manual tensioner conversion. Thanks Guys

 

honda dealerships have a tool that will hold the crank pulley. its a hollow hex shapped kinda thing that fits in the crank pulley, and allows the 19mm to get to the bolt at the same time. check out the dealership, or ebay maybe.

 

heh, I'm just on my way to create such tool for me. I have just bought a hex nut which had 50mm across (it's metric M30 I believe) and I'm going to weld a short piece of pipe to the nut to let 19mm socket go through and a long piece of pipe perpendiculary to the short one to make a handle. It should easy hold those 220Nm to break the bolt loose.

 

If you have the flywheel off and the engine on a stand, you *could* put a bar across two mounting points on the rear of the engine such that it crosses two flywheel bolts. bolt the bar to the two bolts on the engine, put two bolts through the bar into the crank flange (I assume you have the flywheel and transmission mounting bolts) and that would keep it from turning. Probably not the best way, but even a 2x4 might work. Is your stand secured with a pin so that it won't turn when you start turning the crank pully?

Alternatley If you have the flywheel, put it back on and use a flat screwdriver to hold a gear tooth. Hope that helps

i put a headbolt in there.....it bent the headbolt and it messed up the threading for the flywheel bolts so i had to clean them up

i got a chain vicegrip put that around the pully used a little heat on the bolt and jumped on a 4 foot breaker bar and that took it off.
a 700lb impact could'nt get it off, that thing was a bitch

 

get a good impact and some Co2 set it to 80psi and it will get it off no problem. P.S. using a 700ftLB impact gun will rip your motor apart. not a good idea
