gata do the first timing on this car and remove the cover to the belt and as far as i know the only way is to remove the pulley and take it off that way any other ideas?

tried taking off the bolt but the crank keeps movin when i had it in 5th, on the ground and kept turnin

the old belt is off so i dont want to turn a piston up into a valve need some help!!!

 

just did my t belt not too long ago, I recommend using an impact gun to remove the bolt.

 

i tried and it wouldnt break loose you turn it right like you would put them on correct?

 

Get a crank pulley tool, its made to remove the bolt easy.

 

its the stock d15b2 i dont think there is a tool i know what your talkin about though the octogonal shape piece that fits into the pulley to hold it still.... these pulleys are flat faced with a couple holes that i cant do anythin with

 

anyone else? need help bad

 

O ya those ones suck! those bastards can be on tight tight, gl man

 

This is what you need.

Get that tool and attach a 1/2 ratchet or breaker bar to it so that it is wedged against the ground or against some non-movable underbody car part.

Get a 1/2" extension which is 24" long and a 3 foot pipe to fit on the end of your 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar. Support the ratchet with a jackstand, put the pipe over the ratchet or breaker bar and just give it a pull. It will break it off pretty easily.

If you are going to use a ratchet instead of breaker bar make sure it is good quality or better yet something with a lifetime warranty. My craftsman didn't break but that is a lot of torque to put on that thing.

im low on funds otherwise i would just ditch the whole motor and pick up a ls thats FS im just gana take it across the street to the truckin yard put it up on the jack and use their giant impact to break it loose and tow it home to finish the job

thanks for the link and info though that tool is definately on my to get list

 

What you need is a "Good air impact". I Busted off the axle nuts and crank bolt like nothing with the one we have at work.

Drive the car to a mechanic with a big dog impact have him bust it loose. Then tighten it back up a little bit and go back home.

Edit: I didnt read your last post. Lol

 

i am doing just that but the shop is accross the street and my timing belt is already off so i am towing the car over there and just gana time it there cuz i dont have a timing gun either

 

You can pull the starter off and stick the biggest screw driver you can find in between the clutch and the transmission case. I had to do this on my car because I didn't have an impact wrench or that special tool for pulling off the crank pulley. It worked for me when I pulled off the pulley and when it came time tighten it back up. Hope this helps. Good luck.

 

you dont need a timing gun for cam timing.
and a bad compressor or weak gun wont do.
those crank pulley bolts are on @ 130ft/lbs.

 

Here are directions for a homemade tool: http://honda.lioness.googlepages.com...eyholdingtools. I have used the tool with success around half a dozen times on my two Civics.

That bolt is the conventional right-hand thread, so righty-tighty, lefty-loosy. IOW, rotate COUNTER clockwise to free. It typically requires 300 to 600 ft-lbs of torque to free, even though, on installation, it is typically spec'd to be torqued down in the neighborhood of 150 ft-lbs. The threads on this bolt are super fine, so they tend (by design?) to seize and gall easily. An industrial strength impact wrench is the alternative to a pulley holding tool. Lots just run the car to their local import shop; have them loosen the bolt and then snug it up just enough to survive the short ride home; tip the shop $10.
