This is probably a dumb question, but where do you find the tools listed in the Helm's manual. The ones I'm interested in currently are the 19mm socket for the crankshaft bolt and the crankshaft pulley holder. Each tool has a tool number associated with it. Is this the part number for a particular brand? Thanks for clearing this up for me.

 

You can get them through your local honda/acura dealer. They are honda part numbers to my knowledge. They are expensive though. I bought a ball-joint remover from them and it costed $160. A handy tool but damn expensive. Look around at other options. HTH.

 

Check Snap-On and Mac tools also. They make em.

 

You don't really need it....
Just use the air gun but don't abuse it

What happened to your motor?

You can buy a 19mm socket at any auto shop. The crankshaft pulley holder will be a HUGE help. I wish I had that when it took 4 long hours trying to remove the crank pulley bolt. It's a pretty valuable tool IMO...plus, your Honda friends will worship you when they need to change their timing belts.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone, hehehe. There's nothing wrong with the motor, I was just checking in the Helms manual on how to adjust the valves and they mentioned that you want to retorque the crankshaft bolt to 130 ft/lbs after finishing the job.

 

Moroso makes a crankshaft pully wrench now, for those who didn't know.
