autozone now sells chain wrenches. I saw one the other day.

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

crank pully bolts are gay. i first used a 1/2 inch allan wrench for a wedge in between the crank and block, but bent it in half because of the amount of torque i was putting on the crank.. so i used a pistons pin.. They are so strong. worked great for me.

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

i usually use a quality prybar on the ring gear, cheap stuff flexes or breaks, but that will get it asap.

you can also try an airhammer on the bolt, i've had that work before.

and lastly, a 3/4" impactfed by 2 standard air lines is guranteed to get it. Thats what one of the local honda dealer techs use.

1/2" drive Mac impact gun @ 185 psi ownz crank bolts ;D

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

soo anyone know how to get the pully off now? lol im at that stage.. because im replacing my crankshaft. tranny, clutch, flywheel, oil pan, rod caps, n stuff are all off.. i am about to remove the crank retaining journals, but need to get the crankpully off first. then im done removing everything.. so anyone know how to do it without a special tool?

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

easiets way if you dont have the impact gun, is the chain wrench.

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

if you have air and you cant the bolt off, take your air gun and put a bit of oil down air fitting. hook your gun up, turn it to the max air setting and give'er. should pop off with that method.

every bolt that hasnt come off, ive turned to the oil method and it works like a hot damn.

for EF's theres holes in the pulley. stick 2 3/8 3" extensions in the holes and use a jack bar. Put the jack bar between the 2 extension and let it rest on the crossmember. If that makes sense.

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

sorry i have a celica lol.. no EF's or nething.. and i spent all sunday going to shucks, autozone, and national renting "pulley removers", harmonic balancer pullers, universal pulllers.. and they all dont work on toyotas.. only domestic vehicles.. i guess im gonna contact toyota dealership or something.. the bolt that goes into the crank pulley is too small(seems like only american fitting).. anyways i need one for asian/toyota cars. u guys have ne ideas?

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt...Got that fucker!
 

Pry bars. Two of them, just like you do for the axles.
