Ok I have a jdm d15b SOHC VTEC and well my crank pulley is round not pentegon shape like the other ones and so I cant use a crank pulley tool either and so my air impact does not have enough power to take it off and my timing belt is ripped also so I cant drive it either. SO what else could I do have to buy a 300 dollar impact or what?
thanks

Socket wrench + 12ft steel pipe + several friends = loosened bolt

 

well I cant get the crank pulley to stay in place still thats kinda a problem if the crank pulley just spins and cant keep it from staying still sucks!

go buy an ingersol rand impact gun, use it, return it id let u borrow mine (im sure it would loosen it) but im kinda far away lol

 

oh, another trick, try heating it with a blow torch to get it red hot, then poor water on it, then try cracking it again

already tryied that didnt work

 

and well I have a 160 max psi and its a 26 gallon air compresser that should be good for trying to get off what I need right with a expensive air impact right?

That doesn't matter as much as how much torque the impact has. We use a 1/2" impact most of the time to get them off.

Big gun is the best way to go. Anything else and you risk damaging something or even worse, breaking the bolt off in the block. (DOH)

 

ok I got it off what I had to do since the flywheel was turning as well what I did was take the starter off and take a prybar and put it in the pressure plate hole and it got stuck there stepped on the breaker bar and it came off like a charm not enough pressure to hurt the pressure plate though. So next time when I cant get it off I am going to have to take the starter out and do it like that.
