Harmonic dampner...

on a b18c1 do I need the 50mm or the 48mm does anyone know?

I think it's the 50mm but I don't want to order it and then have it not fit and I couldn't find specs on the pulley anywhere.

 

I got mine off using an impact wrench. Came right out. I had to drag the whole motor to a shop then drag it back, but it's worth doing that rather then buying that tool.

moroso makes a really good one too. i got it from summit racing.

stick a screw driver between the teeth on the flywheel and the 93 cent dowel and take a bfh to a ratchet with a 19mm on it. (takes two people). this just breaks the bolt loose. then take a impact wrench to it and it comes right off. i was skeptical about the whole screw driver thing but it worked with only the dowel being bent but thats cheap anyways.

 

An impact normally does the job for me but I think I'll add one of those to my tool collection.

Thats how you break teeth on the flywheel. I wouldn't reccomend this method to anyone.

 

Strap wrench my work too.

 

If you still have the engine in car, Which you should.

Have it jacked up, put a large breaker bar on the end,
now put a 5-6foot pipe over that breaker bar.

And now, to keep that crank in place, You'll need a second person,
Have them put the car in 5th gear, and then Firmly step on the breaks.

This worked for me, and it's a LOT easier then anything else I think.


You made a topic on Lan's forum about having it all out though right?
So I guess that would only be helpful for next time you need to do it in car.

haha this is exactly what I did. and it worked great.

 

did mines with a impact wrench.. it does the job

 

Strap a stick of dynamite to it. Use a long fuse though, wouldnt be wise to be nearby when it goes.

After it blows just pick up the pulley from wherever it landed.

Works everytime, but I am always having to get new long blocks. Go figure.

***disclaimer for the retards among us, this was a joke****

 

It's the 50mm one. I have the same tool and using it made the removal of the crank pulley a piece of cake. Just make sure to have a big breaker bar with a 1/2" drive.

 

but what if you done have the engine in the car like me? Mine is on my engine stand and i already tried the impact gun at my work which is about 90psi since i work at sams in the tires section but that didnt work.

 

Buy the tool cause you could probably get it off with and impact then impact it back on ,but it's better to use the tool that way you can torque it back to spec when your done .Paid 60 bucks off a snap-on truck but I've used it countless times and I even have a capable impact gun.
