Could I use a strap wrench to help hold the crank pulley still will i crank with a breaker bar? The only one i can find is plastic handle... will that break?

( i know about the 'tool' and impact guns and that bullshit doesn't work..)

 

A strongly doubt a strap wrench could hang on to a crank pulley. If the handle didn't break, the strap would. If you have access to one, a large pipe wrench works wonders. Clamp it to the A/C belt slot and wedge it against the A-arm - it will hold if done right. It will mark up the belt groove a little bit, but you can sand it down so as to not tear up your belt. Good luck.

 

Yeah that's what I thought... Well i just got a hold of my uncle that works at Snap-On.. he's gonna get me the "tool" .

No more of this BS My cars been down for like 4 days...

 

Yeah, those damn bolts are a pain in the ***. Mine laughed at a 7 ft. breaker bar, an impact w/ PB Blaster, and finally came with the pipe wrench trick. Come to find out, the last jackass that took it off decided he should Hondabond the bolt!! On top of that, there was no key in the pulley. Gotta love that.
