I hear that there is a tool to remove the crank pulley bolt when changing the timing belt. Anyone knows where I can find this tool? I have a 7th Gen hatchback.
Thanks

 

Ive seen it at....sears, summit racing, advance auto, and autozone. To make life hella easier get some air tools and be done with it

 

I agree that ideally air tools is the way to go, until I can get them, I have to find the best way to get the job done...I will check Sears and autozone again--did not see them last time.

 

Just a word of warning, I don't know the exact torque spec but the bolt is on there tight. If you plan on doing it by hand you need a breaker bar/extension 3-4ft long or enough room to jump on a smaller bar with all your weight. I had my engine out when I did it, I used a 2ft breaker bar and had to jump on the bar 4-5 times to get it to break loose.
I would highly advise finding someone with some air tools OR got to a harbor tools/Northern and they have an electric impact gun for $30-$40

 

i have a 1000fpt impact gun and i still couldn't get mine off. i ended up ordering the tool that ur talking about and a 2ft breaker bar and problem solved. i dont remember where i got it, i ordered it online from like tool warehouse or somthing like that
