I am doing a mini me swap into an EF hatch and I need to change the timing belt first and I just ran into a problem. I cant get the main crank pully to loosen. I know with EGs DCs and EKs there is a special tool you can get from honda and I am sure there is a special tool for this D16a6.

But is there a way to get the pully off without the tool from honda?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

You can use a chain wrench which is what i do, or a really strong impact. 90% of EF crank pulley bolts ive been able ot remove with my IR 2135.

 

torch and an impact, crank puller holder, put the tranny in fifth and have somebody jam on the brakes as hard as possible. It works Ive done it many times

 

Got it.. Thanks all!
