Does anybdy know which way threading is on b-series crankshaft pulley nut? Also how to get it off? I've tried breaker bar and few electric impact wrenches+ lots of liquid wrench and still no luck. Maybe i'm turning the wrong way though

 

right tight, left loose

Many Honda harmonic balancer nuts are hard to brerak loose, Moroso and Honda make a tool that slips into the center hex of the harmonic balancer witha hole in the center to slice an impact through to keep pressure on the pulley while breaking the nut loose. If you know someone at a local dealership, they will probably loan you one, try to find one maybe from Moroso or something, or just keep at it with the impact.

I don't think you can buy the tool from Honda, but you might try, if you find out that your dealership does sell them as a specialty tool, lemme know. And when you go ask for the tool, the parts counter guys probably wont know what it is unless they have been there a while, so go back to the shop and ask a tech for the part number.

 

Thank you much for the info. I'll check it out

stick the socket on ther ,jam the wrench in the ground angled towards the back of the car ,get in and drive in reverse!!thatle do ya

 

The two best ways I can think of are:
1) Leverage--- Get a very long pipe (I've used an exhaust pipe before) and place it on a breaker bar and it should power off.

2) Get an Ingersol-Rand (sp?) Impact Wrench and a compressor with a big tank and pound it off.

 

option 2

 

"right tight, left loose".......... uhm what u turn the ratchet to the right to loosen it. or is the crank bolt opposite?
