We were trying to remove the crank pully on an H22 last night and it seems like it's lok-tited on and torqued very well! We could not break it loose with a 1/2" impact... any ideas? I don't want to use heat because of the main seal.. thanks.

 

3/4 inch impact will take care of that with no problem...also i beleive honda has a special tool for this? i encounterd this many many times good luck

 

1. turn up the output pressure on your comrpessor to 125 psi

2. get a better impact gun

3.use a crank pullley holder and HUGE breaker bar

and if that dont work get a bigger lever

 

I remember having to use a scaffold pole over the breaker bar and an impact socket.
This was after breaking 2, half-inch chrome-vandium sockets!

If your sockets say chrome vandium on them, they are not snap on which = cheap so thats why you broke them

 

get a 4 foot breaker bar and have one of your 150lb friends jump on it. Thats what we had to do with my buddies motor.

 

get a 1/2" or 3/4" breaker bar with like a 6' lever make sure the socket is on flush so you dont shear off the bolt then let it happen youll be in like flin homie

I broke two snap-on sockets trying to remove one of those little bastards, snap on stuff breaks too, just not as often and you get a new one when it does break . Craftsman one didn't break. The most important thing is to hold the damn pulley still. That's what the tool does. if you can't get the tool, get a $15 24"chain wrench (used for pipes or something) and an old belt to wrap around the pulley. Raise car, put chain wrench on, remove upper mount, lower car, use breaker bar through top of engine bay and hopefully the cracking sound will be the nut breaking loose...

...750lb/ft impact, pb blaster, torch didn't get it off either by the way...

 

oh i know snap on breaks too but chrome vandium = crap if its printed on the socket just my .02$
