hey guys im in the prcess of putting a new timing belt on this d16a6 motor, and i noticed one of the 10MM bolts that holds the cover on is in a very akward spot (behind the tensioner pully for the AC) im wondering i just have to fight it, or if anyone actually pulled that pulley off to get that bolt out, or what? and at this moment i dont have a compressor..is there any ghetto quick ay of getting the crank pulley off easily?

You have to remove the AC compressor belt to get the crank pulley anyways, right?

So, at some point you're gonna have to untension the AC belt. Replace it while you're at it.

The Moroso crank pully holder tool ($65.95 + $7.95 handling, free shipping) from http://www.summitracing.com. Safest way.

Otherwise, you could try locking the flywheel some how. I've heard sticking a screwdriver into the flywheel (in the teeth?) works. I've always been a little bit leery of doing this tho.

 

Oh and a D16A6 crank pulley won't let you use that 50mm hex tool from moroso. You'll just have to wedge a screwdriver between the flywheel and the bellhousing.

 

or get an impact and take it off its not easy to do by hand
