I tried heat+PBblaster to no avail. I only heated it to ~300* F though. I had a 400lb/ft impact wrench on it too and it will not budge.

Any Ideas?????

You can always buy the tool form Honda, it's around $160, but it will work.

hehe, i went thru the same problem with my hatch. Tried just about everything i could think of. Anyway a month later i took it down to a local shop where they used a 1inch drive impact, took 20 seconds .

 

Make sure you have a good Impact with at least a 3/8 air hose, the little air hoses like 1/4 won't let the gun have enough air to be effective.

 

man i have a Ingrsall Rand that is rated at 700 ftlbs max and it can't budge some of them. I was using a 3/8" hose and like 135PSI 20CFM? big compressor. Bottom like get that tool from honda, and a big *** breaker bar

 

My 600ft-lbs Craftsman Impact with 3/8 air hose in a 15gallon compressor spun that crank bolt off with the quickness.

 

I just stuck the car in 5th gear, and used a 2 ft long breaker bar and got it off. I just pushed it with my foot, while holding my self with the bumper, took no time. Must be in 5th gear though.

 

I tried it w/ the trans in 1st and my brother holding down the brakes, something was twisting, and when I let go of the bar it snapped back to the original position.

I will try it in 5th tomorrow. I also need a new starter now, it won't turn the engine over.

Does anyone have a pic of this tool from honda? Will autozone carry one that I can rent?

Everyone always forgets about the size of the hose. That is KEY. I have actually removed crank-pulley bolts using a 1/2 inch snap-on electric impact. Or with my 1/2 inch air impact w/ 1/2 inch hose.

 

Well, I've got 3/8ths hose, a 1/2" 400 lb/ft wrench, and i cranked the preassure to 120 PSI. No worky. I just cracked the socket with a breaker bar though, so I guess it is time to take it to the shop.

Have you tried takeing a brass punch or somthing just like it and hitting the head of the bolt. I tried this once with a stuburn bolt and it worked great.


Hit the head of the bolt real good a couple times then get that impact on there......also a breaker bar with a pipe over the end always works.

My 2 Cents.
