Check out my crank pulley tool I made
$30 and $75 for crankpulley tools at auto parts stores? ---- that. I made one for 3 ------- DOLLARS
Materials:
- 1 nut that measures 2" across the flats
- Old shift linkage
So for the bar I used the old shift linkage from the hatch I parted out. I simply bent the fork that goes around the shifter and placed the nut, offset in there, and welded the ---- out of it.
Check it out:
This thing works ****.

I have a professional one but it was only about $20

Re: Check out my crank pulley tool I made
that pretty good. a whole lot cheaper than my matco crank tool. i pretty much run a tab with them and mac so i constantly grab whatever looks cool or is on sale. it just sucks to always have a $250 a month tool bill

Re: Check out my crank pulley tool I made
Or you can just bolt the flywheel on, thread in one of the bolts that hold on the pressure plate onto the flywheel, then use one of the bolts that hold the tranny onto the block. Set the closed end of the wrench onto the flywheel bolt and the open on the bolt on the block and presto...it keeps the crank from spinning. Or if it's still in the car. Just toss it in gear and jam a block of wood onto the brake pedal and the seat and it works. Atleast for me it always has. Or you can make one with a shift linkage like he did. HMT at it's finest.

Yeah I had an ingrown nail on both sides of my toe. The podiatrist basically cut the sides of the nail off and killed the root. Now I'm left with an ugly strip of nail up the middle of my toe.
