@Rick8683 It would be, if this engine wasn't internally balanced. After hundreds of members have put a collective millions of miles on these engine with under-drive pulleys without issue, I would guess it has no negative impact on this engine. This pulley was on this engine for about 160,000 miles. The turbo has been on the engine for over 60,000 miles.
@Rick8683 The engine is still stock and has not been opened up, rebuilt, or so mush as made an abnormal noise since I bought the car in 2000. The engine has over 210,000 miles on it and still puts up more than 170psi of compression on a cold engine.
@brianperry55 Are you sure your crankshaft rotates clockwise? Just because a battery shows 12 volts doesn't mean it is charged or that it is putting out enough current.
@Twinturbo120 I put red Loc-tite on my bolt, installed it, then used a hammer and breaker bar to get it as tight as I could. You just hit the end of the breaker bar in the same direction you tighten it. They also make chain vice grips you can use to hold the crank pulley in place (use an old belt so you don't damage the pulley) while you tighten the bolt. The breaker bar and hammer has worked for me without issue for 6 years now.
In these type of videos i see all kinds of advice to someone who has absoultly no mechanic ability what so ever and they are only trying to save a buck. You wont be saving if you cause damage on vehicle. If you dont know what you are doing dont do it
@Olddog231 You don't make sense. If not knowing how to do something kept you from trying, we would all be living in caves. If someone gets to this part and doesn't know what to do, they are apparently seeking out the answers here, which would mean instead of just going into it blindly, they want to learn first. By save a buck, do you mean they should go spend $800 on a compressor and tools?
@StavrosCustom Serpentine means one belt controls all rotated accessories like your water pump and alternator. Some people call them fan belts even if it doesn't drive a fan but even a serpentine belt can drive a fan.
@07swbxrunner WHY? Are you saying the crank pulley can take the force of several explosions a minute but can't take a few seconds of an impact? Got anything else completely ignorant and unfounded to say?
@ZX@Fast This is a common method...even for Pros like myself. We use Guns for this.....even the most nasty ones will loosen to a 3/4" gun.but sometimes you have no clearance for a gun...so you use this method.

I also see you have no videos up so until you can show us how to do the right way, shut the hell up.
@ZX2Fast haha nice vid dude. I been wondering how I was going to get that beast off. Thanks for the help. Though my crankshaft faces the front, ill be sure to incorporate this method somehow.
@YourePrettyGoood As long as your engine rotates clock-wise this will work for you. On forward facing engines I just put my breaker bar on there with a cheater pipe, brace it against the floor, and that works out great for me.
You could do that, but there is still a chance the car will start if the engine vacuum pulls any fuel in. It is always best to just disable the ignition.
can you disable the fuel pump instead. So i was thinking without the brakerbar on yet just pull the fuse to the fuel pump start it let the car die then do the brakerbar method.
You'll have to use an impact. You can take it to a shop and get them to do it for a few bucks. I guess, if you want to try, you can use some vice-grips to hold the flywheel in place then use a breaker bar and hammer to get the bolt loose.
@bradyhpifirestorm If you have a Zetec, use a hammer and loc-tite to just get it as tight as you can and it'll be fine. If you have a car with an un-keyed dampener then you'll need to use a chain vice to hold the crank pulley in place while you tighten it up. Be sure to use something like an old belt to keep the chain from digging into the crank pulley.
@andyparf That's good to know. Another bit of advice to go with that. If you find your car doesn't have a keyed crank and/or has an interference engine, get rid of that poorly engineered POS.
maybe the cam shaft whichever one is leaking and likely change the belt and put it back together then have it toed to have the believe to be oil pump housing replaced. sad but im tired of laying under my car and my initail thought for this one was to pay in the first place but money is tight , thanks
i should have tried this method seeing how i have the limited tools needed. my old 97 plmoth neon gave me hell today and for whatever reason i decided to stick a pry bar behind the harmonic balancer and cracked the housing under it when i hit my wrench with a hammer. i was hoping you could tell me but i think its the oil pump assembly or the oil pump housing , might be the same thing but any likely correct name would be appreciated , i plan on changing the belt and seals behind crank and maybe
@robertlc3 I don't know that much about the Neon but it does sound like the front cover. You have to use a jaw puller to get the balancer off of them because they are pressed on. They don't pull off like the ones on the ZX2.
YO!!! Thanks for putting up this vid. My son and I fought with his for hours. Then I watched this and "POW"! we had the nut off in like three minutes. You're the man.
YO!!! Thanks for putting up this vid. My son and I fought with his for hours. Then I watched this and "POW"! we had the nut off in like three minutes. You're the man.
Yeah thats it. you have the crank shaft timing belt gear then the crank shaft pulley and then the bolt. its on a taper. no key way at all. The crank is timed with a pin into the side of the engine block and the camshafts are timed with a plate at the back of them. Try that with one of them engines and uh oh lol
ive seen all these comments and i cant believe tht one MASTER TECH (everyone bowdown). is really talking so much junk to ths young mechanic ZX2FAST who is just trying to show the ppl a way easy inexpensive way to fix there vehicle...ZX2fast u keep doing wht u doing do not let ANY mechanic intimidate u buddy, i am a 10 year mechanic and i have a mobile mechanic service where i work on cars the real way getting on the ground LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM... thts all tht matters is FIXIN THE PROBLEM..
@2caliper Thanks. I left his comments up so everyone can see how stupid he is. I've been fixing my own cars and friends cars for 13 years. I know what works and how to make the wrong tools work when needed. The best part is that he had to make two new accounts because You Tube blocked him. He must have had a lot of reported comments for that. I didn't report any of them. Thanks for the comment.
@animal2499 Are you asking what if the belt is broken? The crank pulley turns the belt, not the other way around. You can still loosen the bolt with the belt off.
@Goatballs4me I didn't block you, must be because You Tube thinks you are spamming me. How sad it is you felt the need to make another account to show us how much of an asshole you are.
@b18cyacrxs That was a Ford Racing UDP. It is fine to run, but the timing gear eats the back of the aluminum pulley. I ended up putting my OEM pulley back on because I wanted the extra cooling power and amperage.
@HunterCO1 Simple, put the car in gear, block the wheels, use torque wrench. If you do not have a torque wrench, tighten it as much as you can and use Loc-tite. Back before I collected the tools I have now, this worked out just fine for me.
@HunterCO1 If you're so critical of everyone and everything, calling them morons, idiots, and jackasses, and sounding like you obviously know how to do things without fucking shit up, why won't you put up a vid of how YOU would take off the crank pulley??
@tly1216 I don't have time to make videos when I am at work. I am a master technician with over 20 years experience. I would simply use my snap-on MG 725 impact and it would be off in one second!
To put it back on and torque it correctly as its a dampener and needs to be torqued properly to do its job. I would use a spanner wrench to hold the pulley and use my snap on tech wrench to torque it to specs.
With out a impact I could also take it off with my spanner wrench.
@HunterCO1 Well, since not everyone has all these expensive tools that you have, we have to do it the poor hillbilly way. If you don't have time to make a video since you work so much, why do you have time to go around on You Tube leaving bullshit comments on videos meant to help people that don't have all the shit needed to do the 'right' way.
Given that my crank pulley (or any crank pulley I've installed without an impact) has never failed, then the way I do it must work just fine.
@ZX2Fast First off learn to read I said I don't have time "AT work" hence I have time at home. Also I never said I intalled it with an impact, reading comprehension is fundamental!
Last but not least I see your kind of work every day at work. Most of the time you sell it before you even realize how bad you fucked it up. Or you keep it and it fails and your too fucking stupid to realize your the reason and you blame something else. I see it every day!
Why would you need to be at work to make one? My Escort has 193,000 original miles and has never failed because of me 'fucking up.' The way I do it works fine. My pulley has been held on by Loc-tite for 14 months now, it still hasn't come off. Just because some car dealer (likely GM since they only sell shit anyway) lets you work on their cars doesn't make you a 'master' at anything. Why don't you make a video that show how to do it 'your' way and stop being a whining 41 year old bitch?
@ZX2Fast Well dipshit my guess is I would need to be at work to film since that is where my tools are damn your a fucking idiot and proving my point more every time you post. Oh wow you have had your pulley on for 14 months with loctite you want a medal for stupidity or what? You obviousley once again are to fucking stupid to understand your pulley is a harmonic dampener.
@HunterCO1 Actually, genius, the Zetec is internally balanced and does not have a 'harmonic' balancer to speak of. So, a mechanic that doesn't have tools at home? Wow, I guess you really do suck at working on cars so much that you don't even own any tools. A lot of people with ATX Zetec's complain of harsh in-gear vibrations. Guess why?
@ZX2Fast LMFAO dipshit I am well aware it is internally balanced and that has nothing to do with the harmonic balancer that you put on with loctite. You are a shining example of why dipshits should not work on their own cars.
Now go google harmonic dampener before you make a bigger fucking idiot of yourself than you already have!
@HunterCO1 You are a fine example of why people shouldn't trust mechanics. Nice trying to claim you knew the Zetec was internally balanced. Go ahead, explain for the rest of the class what a 'harmonic dampner', that you were calling a balancer before I told you the Zetec is internally balaced, actually does. Then tell me why the Zetec doesn't use one. I'll wait...... HINT: has something to do with the rotational mass.
@ZX2Fast Dipshit I never said it was externally balanced all us domestic and asian car engines have beein internally balanced for 30 years jackass. So obviousley your zetec is internal. The term harmonic balancer has nothing to do with your engines balance job. Do you really enjoy makeing a fucking idiot of yourself. I simply used the the term "dampener" hoping that bb in your head would stop rolling around and make you think.
@ZX2Fast In short a harmonic balancer and or dampener are the same fucking thing jackass. They use the flywheel to externally balance an engine except for the 400 chevy small block they had to use both its called a "Detroit balance"
This is why I fix so many fucks all the time is because of complete dipshits like you. Call ford and ask for a harmonic balancer for your car I bet they have it will be the thing you call a pulley.
@ZX2Fast It has nothing to do with rotational mass dipshit. In the case of the 400 sb chevey the bore was so big and being a small block they could not make the crankshaft counter weights big enough to internally balance it. LMFAO they guys at work are dieing at how fucking stupid you are keep posting its the best entertainment for people who actually know what the hell they are talking about!
@HunterCO1 Dismissed? No, I've actually been fixing cars and not fucking around on the internet. Since the dampner is there to reduce the amount of positive and negative flex in the crank, it won't need to be there if this flex isn't bad enough to cause an issue. You and the idiots at the lame stealership you work at can think what you want. I've ran this car like this for over 7 years with no issues and still run 13's. Do it your way, my way works for me.
WATCH OUT -- make sure your engine spins the right way. If the crank bolt is on the American driver's side, your engine likely spins the wrong way for this trick. Older-model Hondas (like mine) spin counter-clockwise.
Yeah, that would suck. That is why I made the title so long. Since it'll only work on the passenger facing clockwise engines. Still, maybe the comment you left will help keep people aware. I'm sure a lot of people skim the title.
Haha, was that title always there? I was definitely one of the ones to skim the title. Very good video, I wish it worked for me! Fortunately we just successfully removed the bolt with a rented impact wrench.
@igglebop yeah watch out you might run accros the one and only engine that runs backwards and the fucking moron that made this video used loctite to make it run that way.
Oh my CHRIST!! THANK YOU!! I was losing my mind outside trying to figure it out!

Why don't you make a video that show how to do it 'your' way and stop being a whining 41 year old bitch?

@ZX2Fast Well dipshit my guess is I would need to be at work to film since that is where my tools are damn your a fucking idiot and proving my point more every time you post. Oh wow you have had your pulley on for 14 months with loctite you want a medal for stupidity or what? You obviousley once again are to fucking stupid to understand your pulley is a harmonic dampener.
LMFAO

@HunterCO1 Actually, genius, the Zetec is internally balanced and does not have a 'harmonic' balancer to speak of. So, a mechanic that doesn't have tools at home? Wow, I guess you really do suck at working on cars so much that you don't even own any tools. A lot of people with ATX Zetec's complain of harsh in-gear vibrations. Guess why?

@ZX2Fast LMFAO dipshit I am well aware it is internally balanced and that has nothing to do with the harmonic balancer that you put on with loctite. You are a shining example of why dipshits should not work on their own cars.
Now go google harmonic dampener before you make a bigger fucking idiot of yourself than you already have!

@HunterCO1 You are a fine example of why people shouldn't trust mechanics. Nice trying to claim you knew the Zetec was internally balanced. Go ahead, explain for the rest of the class what a 'harmonic dampner', that you were calling a balancer before I told you the Zetec is internally balaced, actually does. Then tell me why the Zetec doesn't use one. I'll wait...... HINT: has something to do with the rotational mass.

@ZX2Fast Dipshit I never said it was externally balanced all us domestic and asian car engines have beein internally balanced for 30 years jackass. So obviousley your zetec is internal. The term harmonic balancer has nothing to do with your engines balance job. Do you really enjoy makeing a fucking idiot of yourself. I simply used the the term "dampener" hoping that bb in your head would stop rolling around and make you think.

@ZX2Fast In short a harmonic balancer and or dampener are the same fucking thing jackass. They use the flywheel to externally balance an engine except for the 400 chevy small block they had to use both its called a "Detroit balance"
This is why I fix so many fucks all the time is because of complete dipshits like you. Call ford and ask for a harmonic balancer for your car I bet they have it will be the thing you call a pulley.

@ZX2Fast It has nothing to do with rotational mass dipshit. In the case of the 400 sb chevey the bore was so big and being a small block they could not make the crankshaft counter weights big enough to internally balance it. LMFAO they guys at work are dieing at how fucking stupid you are keep posting its the best entertainment for people who actually know what the hell they are talking about!

@ZX2Fast Oh I almost forgot class is dismissed!!
HunterCO1 1 year ago
@HunterCO1 Dismissed? No, I've actually been fixing cars and not fucking around on the internet. Since the dampner is there to reduce the amount of positive and negative flex in the crank, it won't need to be there if this flex isn't bad enough to cause an issue. You and the idiots at the lame stealership you work at can think what you want. I've ran this car like this for over 7 years with no issues and still run 13's. Do it your way, my way works for me.

WATCH OUT -- make sure your engine spins the right way. If the crank bolt is on the American driver's side, your engine likely spins the wrong way for this trick. Older-model Hondas (like mine) spin counter-clockwise.

Yeah, that would suck. That is why I made the title so long. Since it'll only work on the passenger facing clockwise engines. Still, maybe the comment you left will help keep people aware. I'm sure a lot of people skim the title.
ZX2Fast 2 years ago
Haha, was that title always there? I was definitely one of the ones to skim the title. Very good video, I wish it worked for me! Fortunately we just successfully removed the bolt with a rented impact wrench.

@igglebop yeah watch out you might run accros the one and only engine that runs backwards and the fucking moron that made this video used loctite to make it run that way.
HunterCO1 2 years ago
Good job brad, that's how I use to do it back in the day without an impact!
