I have had the same problem on other cars, so I finally just go and rent a 3/4" impact with a adapter to my 1/2" impact wrench. Last time it was $16 for 4 hours, plenty of time. Even though it is on a smaller compressor, I get 2-3 good hits and let the compressor recharge everthing. Usually comes off on the second attempt.

That is def not good for the car.....i know it works, but i bought a new IR 1000ft lbs 1/2 drive impact that will take it right off.

 

When you use a proper impact wrench, it hits it so hard and so fast....it barely even has a chance to move, nevermind spin the crank.

 

that should get it off.

 

where did you guys purchased the aluminum shifter bushings from and how much?

thanks

 

Was looking and asking around myself and found this. Thanks Kennedy!

BTW, I've done the ol starter trick, but not on the TL yet. It won't hurt anything if you do it right. It actually is the preffered technique on inline V6's where the pulley's face the radiator. There's no clearance to remove the drive pulley with an impact gun without removing the radiator

At timing belt change time you have to:
1) Remove the radiator

or

2) Use the ol breaker bar/starter trick. Saves a lot of work this way.

Just be careful, remove the fuse to prevent an accidental start, and lock the bar against the subframe or ground before bumping the starter.

 

guys,

i just ordered a set from http://speed-source.net/ yesterday. $28 shipped.

 

Nice! The ones I ordered from Cor Sport will be in tomorrow and just in time to slap them in this weekend!

 

 

Those are some solid numbers man, nice

 

Yeah, no kidding. When does the SC arrive? ;-)

 

I would think your car should be capable of high 13s on the 1/4mi., but it all depends on the launch.

 

I use my IR Titanium 2125 i think....blast that bolt right off first shot....had to take it off my 05 TL today....tomorrow im gonna put it on my 07 TL-S...yay!

 

so you didn't get the shorter pulley belt? dimension of ur pulley is smaller than the oem and on my tsx it needed shorter pulley belt.

 

my ir's a ti2135...took teh stock TL-S bolt right off too...and boy does it feel good....can't really beat on it cause i only have 200 miles on the thing....but it picks up even better on the tl-s then it did on the reg. TL. used teh same belt they recommend for the 04-06 TL UR Pulley.

 

hey how much did the new pully cost you

 

i dunno...roughly 185-200...i dont remember...the belts like 15 bucks or something...
