Im installing a crank pulley/ harmonic balancer on a D15B8 cx motor and need the special tool so that I can get it TQ'ed to 145 Ftlbs. The pulley has 8 holes around it. Where can I get the special tool? herea a link to the harmonic balancer. http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/199...ft_pulley.html

part #W0133-1609466
second one from the top. Thanks for any help

 

anybody?

 

i just used an allen wrench or screw driver to block/hold it in place on my b18c1 when i was changing over itr cams. just an idea...i heard u can get the tool at sears though...

ill check sears, I need one different than the typical hex shaped holder because inside the pulley its round. I tried a big craftsman screwdriver but it bent it. The TQ is 145ftlbs. I have one of the new style crank bolts with a 10 printed on the end

 

WRONG..... look at the link I have posted for the pulley, the center of it is round, not hex shaped

 

Just use an impact wrench.

 

You might be able to get away with leaving the car in gear and having a friend press the brakes while you torque (or remove) the bolt. Of course this is assuming the engine is in the car.

 

How is pushing the brakes going to stop the harmonic balancer from turning? lol

 

the engine is out.

 

he said hold the brakes im assuming because if the car were to come out of gear the car would roll foward and over you if you were applying that much TQ

 

Ohhhh okay haha makes sense.

Can you not use an impact gun with a torque stick for the correct about of torque needed?

 

Sorry, no need to yell at me.
