Auto Repair - Honda Crank Pulley Tool Use

ha ha, That is some nasa automotive engineering to get that bolt loose.Love the breaker bar to floor wedge:) I am a auto tech also and have replaced many t-belts on Accords and Civics and can tell from experience that those Honda crank bolts are the tightest out there. Sometimes I can bust them loose with my 3/4" impact ;)

Watch using a pipe chain, because it can damage the pulley where the belt rides. This can result in belts wearing out prematurely.

hey there! well i got a 1990 honda accord will that tool work for all honda?

Hi. Yes, more than likely it will. See the tech article linked in more info. Also our product listing shows an application for the Honda & Acura vehicles it works on.

This works but not as powerful as without the jackstand. I used only a short extension for the ratchet because the longer the extension is the more torque is lost. Here's how i did it. I just do a jump kick on the ratchet using my whole body weight on that kick. Just make sure you hold on to the front end of the car so that you won't lose your balance while doing it. It works way better than this because other guys in my shop did this extension and jack stand and they failed.

Thanks for the input. This was done low to simulate not having a vehicle rack. If a lift is used, a long breaker bar without extensions can be used, since clearing the car isn't a problem. Also, if using the extensions, try using multiple short ones instead of one or two longer ones that tend to flex more. The short extension combo seems to lose less torque power as a result.

use 3/4 impact gun more easy than this tool

Yes of course the brakes affect engine turning, DenLorsTools. ZeroFossilFuel has a manual transmission - when placed in gear as he indicated, the engine is directly connected to the driven wheels through the clutch and transmission. Therefore, with the brakes applied to the wheels, the engine cannot turn until the torque applied with a breaker bar exceeds the amount of braking force (or the clutch slips if it is bad). The nut will certainly come loose before that...

I understand what you are saying, but I'm speaking from experience - "it doesn't work." See the Honda Timing Belt Tips article (click the link in the more info section) for more information based on my experience as a Master Auto Technician. I first tried that method back in the early 1980's! Thanks for your comments.
