Silver 3.5

Was wondering if anyone has a 50 mm crank shaft pulley removal / install tool. I'm more interested in buying an actual Honda tool, not a tool that might bend or break. Any info as to where i could purchase one online or should i just go to the dealer? Thanks.

Have you had a problem with the powerbuilt one ? Powerbuilt 648796 Honda Cranks Pulley Removal Tool

Silver 3.5

I haven't purchased one yet. Have you used the powerbuilt tool before? Is it made for a half inch breaker bar?

I purchased the tool from home depot, Capri Tools. basically same quality as described by powerbuilt.
It costed me 20 bucks and it took me 2 tries with a 2'.8" cheater bar to break the bolt loose. Worth it

Your local major autoparts retailer will likely have this tool available to rent for free. Why spend the $$ if you don't have to? Just my opinion.

Get this his tool and hit the crank bolt with item an impact gun. Comes off so easy

or do the starter blimp. That's free

Still Have to hold the crank pulley...

Not if you have a high torque impact.
Here's an IR-780 ft-lbs of maximum forward/reverse torque & 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque, but @ $500.

Don't have to hold the crank. I have a UR pulley so nothing to hold. Just get an Impact gun. Lets see if my 350fl/lb electric impact with this socket can get it loose

^^^^^^ With the UR pulley, how do you torque it to 180 when you put the bolt back on?

Good questions.. I Just say Fk it and hit it with the impact. lol Probably the worst thing you can do,

Just used that socket i posted up today. Took it off the car in 2-3 sec. Made that crank pulley bolt look like a lug nut. My corded impact gun only rated for 350ft/lb of tq. So you get the idea. Probably a HF one with this socket would save you a bunch of time and cussing. From beginning to end it took about 45 mins. Most of the time was spent jacking up the car take positioning the jacks

That's a pretty cool socket, but I wouldn't feel comfortable torquing the bolt back down with an impact gun. It didn't take me no more than a minute to get the bolt off with the correct tools. And a second hand to torque it back down.

definitely feel you on that, but those lightweight crank pulley don't have a place to hold it.

So are you MT or AT? It doesn't turn the engine over when tightening with the 350 ft-lb impact wrench?

thisaznboi88

6MT and not it didn't turn the engine when I hit it in the impact to tighten it. I use a regular impact socket, not that 2lb slug. Got it tight and then made a 1/6 of turn on the bolt. That should be enough to keep it from flying off. Already took it for a 20 mins drive no problems

took off my stock diameter UR one and put back the stock oem crank because selling the car. So semi-part out.

Silver 3.5

can you post a pick of your crankshaft pulley. Or list the manufacturer. I would like to see what it looks like, thanks.

Stock diameter

who makes that pulley? and did you feel anything different by putting that one on?

Search there a thread about this on here with dyno graphs. But yes the car Rev and accelerate just a little bit faster. I put the stock one on since my car is turbo and selling it in a few days

Just like to add, if everyone believes the dealerships, or even independents, use a torque wrench when tightening the bolts down, I have a bridge for sale.
In fact, some of the bolts on the Acura are well above the factory torque specs. Guess the robot had an off day.

Hey guys I'm balling on a budget at the moment would u think that this impact wrench plus the lisle socket could remove the bolt ? http://m.sears.com/capri-tools-capri...Q&gclsrc=aw.ds

There was a deal on a Milwaukee M18 for $249 just a month ago from Dewalt Tools, Greenlee Tools, Ridgid Tools, Milwaukee Tools, Proto Tools | Toolup.com with no tax, this is what I bought. Same nut busting torque rating as the competing Ingersoll Rand and Dewalt.

It sure might, but really don't have any way of knowing for sure.

have a can of PB blaster ready. You live in Florida so rust should not be an issue compared to people above the salt belt.
