I remember alot of people having problems removing that massive bolt/nut whatever it is..

saw this pic on the net of a good idea to "lock" the crank in place...

 

Thats pretty slick, dude.

I hate how some Hondas have the insert in the pulley for my speshhhul honduh service t00l, and some dont.

For the ones that don't, but have holes in them: I built a lil tool w/2bolts sticking out attached to a 3ftlong pipe to hold it still. You just slide it in 2 holes and have an assistant hold it while you stand on another pipe attached to a 3/4" breaker bar

 

I broke (2) 1/2" craftman breakerbars on mine. At least i just had to trade it in for a new one. I finally had to use a heat gun, penetrating oil and the pro air tools at my work.

 

huh thats pritty cool,just sux u have to take off the oil pan,but if that saves a big headache then its well worth it

 

haahha yeah the bitch bolt of any honda.

extend the bar and lower your car onto the breaker bar.

usuallly works out..

 

Theres plenty of room in there w/o removing the pan... I'm guessing he removed it for other reasons.

 

yeah, he prolly took off the oil pan to replace it with his moroso "style" obx pan to go with his obx lightened crank pulley that he is obviously installing too.......

 

hey !!!! was that a stab at my 145 dollar obx oil pan ?!!??! LOL

I must admit that the shitty obx pan with its 2 x 1/2" NPT bungs made turbo drain and oil temp sender installation a 1 minute job



anyway in that pic you can see theres about 2" of room.

 

^^OH ---- i didn't know you had an obx oil pan, i was just cracking a joke on why that guy had his oil pan off. i just heard they were a bitch to get ligned up correctly and that you have to drill out some of the holes a little bigger where you have the studs for the oil pan.

 

haha ya. it was a big pile of ----. talk about taking one for the team.. I did a mini-review on it here:
