getting crank pulley off
 

any other methods besides an impact wrench? i have a d15b8 and im doing a mini me...the crank pulley will not come off. the crank pulley doesnt have the hexagonal shape so the typical honda crank pulley tools wont work. ive strapped a chain/strap wrench and no luck..any other methods? any helps is appreciated

rope into a cyl, tighten it, itll break like a hymen

Re: getting crank pulley off
 

Like he said. Pull a plug, fill the cylinder with a bunch of small rope turn it over untill the rope compresses and you wil be able to bust the bolt loose.

Yeah I am really confused that people can't get this simple technique to work. I have done it a couple times. I used a 5ft piece of pipe over the breaker bar a few times.

ya it hasnt failed me yet. the 88-91 cable clutch bracket works great for super duper pulley brakeage

put the car in 5th gear and get your mate to put the brakes on, put steering all the way left.
now get a 17mm socket on a long extension bar and undo the bolt holding the crank pulley on.

it can sometimes help to wiggle the pulley as you pull it off, yes it can be a bitch, but it will come off,

dont lose the woodruff key

if the motor is out of the car gl. if its in the car gl. rope method works. as does 5 gear or 4th for you hardcore std rockers as i. ive never done it with the motor in the car, although it was a bitch swapping the crank pulley when i had to.

Locking the flywheel works good, or I've put a couple long 17mm bolts in the tranny side of the crank, put a breaker par in that and then used another breaker on the pulley side. That was before I got a bigger air compressor and 3/4" drive impact gun. Haven't ran across a crank pulley bolt yet that it won't bust loose. :6

the rope method works but a nice ingersoll and rand impact will break that bitch loose like nothing.
