I am in the process of changing my timing belt and I absolutely can not get the crank bolt off. I bought the tool to hold the pulley, I tried an impact wrench, I've tried to heat the bolt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

screw driver through the flywheel.

 

You need leverage.
I couldn't get it off with an impact either, even at ~140 psi.
The jack handle on the end of a ratchet did it though.

 

What kind of impact gun are you using? Did you try putting the gun on beast mode? Use a 3/4 inch drive air gun, it shouldn't be a problem.

 

If you bought the crank pulley holder tool from honda then it should be easy to get it off

find your 19mm socket, 1/2" drive extension and your 1/2" rachet and a breaker bar you can slip onto the rachet

if you have a hydralic jack, then grab the jack bar off of that and use it as a breaker bar and have the crank pulley holder tool wedged ontp the front vibration mount. once you got that set up just reef on the breaker bar

 

i had a problem using an impact the damn bolt wouldnt come off... so i got this weird tool jobbie that fits into the crank pully and i put it against the LCA then i put the 19mm on and used a breaker bar.. it was a pain but it came lose.. i dont have a picture of the tool but it fits into the crank pully and u put a breaker bar on it

 

coat liberally with PB Blaster if you haven't already.

Might be a dumb question, but are you going in the right direction?

 

if you have a good impact it should come off without much problem. Turn up the air pressure and just let it hit over and over until it breaks loose.

 

I was not not able to get it off using the regular Craftman impact gun that came with the compressor. I used this:

It came off without a problem.
