Guest MelMacky Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hey all, I have a 94 Honda Accord, timing belt blew and can't seem to get the crankshaft bolt off the pulley. Have tried everything. From jamming the fly wheel and starting the engine, to having a 300 lbs. dude stand on the breaker bar. Just wondering if anyone out there might have a secret tool to hold the pulley in place. It would be sooooo greatly appreciated. Thanks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow4now Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 A good impact gun and lots of air pressure are your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MelMacky Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Yeah that's what I figured, but I have tried an air impact wrench with about 400 lbs. of force on that. So ya figure that would work but nope. Thanks though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can sacrifice the rubber seal or even get to the crank, heat the crank up with a torch and then cool the bolt with cold water, then tighten the bolt and then back the bolt out.

Science Abuse Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 have you tried cussing at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supldys Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 jamming the flywheel and starting the engine would do nothing, if the flywheel is jammed then the motor wont spin what I would do, depending on which way the motor spin: put the breaker bar on the bolt and lay it against the ground and then tap the starter. Make sure you put its on so its loosening and not tightening oh and make sure your bolts not reverse thread, ive heard some cars are on the crank pulley, i have no idea about hondas though, i dont work on them. -Jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powers Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 alot of times the factory installs locktight on the theads of the crank sprocket bolt and torque it down to as much as 300lbs. They also make a special tool to hold the crank pully still while you hit it with the impact or a hand breaker bar. You don't have to go out to buy the tool, shops that do alot of repairs on the same types of cars usually have a complete set of specialty tools and they will rent them out with a NICE deposit. call around someone has one somewhere and your bolt will be off in 2 mins.

street pilot Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 You could use a chain wrench, but beware it will damage the pulley. Option 2: there should be a large hex shaped hole in the pulley. Measure it from side to side. If it is 2" I might be able to help you out. I have a tool (homemade) that fits those pulleys.

Guest boostd Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 if you have your tranny out... which it sounds like you might??? get a flywheel holder from napa or somewhere... hold the flywheel in the right position with a breaker bar, and then try taking that bolt out with another breaker bar and a 1/2 inch wratchet...just maybe who knows... sounds like graemlins/bsflag.gif if an impact wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04r1 Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Heat and an impact gun should work. Its has worked on all the hondas I have worked on. Might have to work it for a bit but should come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
