Well, it is time to change my timing belt. Only one problem, I don't have access to an impact or a crank pulley wrench. Where can I buy a crank pulley wrench? Anybody want to get rid of their used one?

are you talking about the crank pulley holder or the crank pulley bolt wrench ?

for the wrench, you can use lug nut wrench or a 19mm, they're tque to about 130ish ft/lbs

for the holder,summit has those for 60 bucks

 

I thought my question was pretty obvious. Yeah, I'm talking about the holder.

Thanks for the link Warren.

 

moroso makes one as well, and it can be bought through summit.

 

If you don't have to do it for another month, I can lend mine to you. Mailorder lending.

 

Thanks for the generous offer. But your in the states and I'm in Canada. And right now, I have very little confidence in the cross border trading and mailing system.

When you think about it, how many times will this wrench get used (if the ITR is your only car)? Not that often (every 60K miles)...which for the average ITR owner would probably equal once or twice. I plan on keeping my ITR forever but that's what I say today, tomorrow something could happen and I may change my mind.

 

many, many times if you have a bunch of Honda p33ps near buy.

If I were you I would look into renting an impact wrench ( a big one) because that damn bolt is a bitch to loosen. Even with the pulley holder I couln't do it (broke a torque bar in the process). I had to drill several holes on the side of the bolt's head to remove some contact surface between the bolt and the fat washer and finally it gave. Bought I new bolt at Acura and at least I could use the pulley to retighten it.

First time's the hardest. Maybe take it to a dealership and have them remove it and anti-seize it first.
