ls crank pully
 

hey guys, i cant get my crank pully off, I used 4 impact guns one is brand new and has 500 fp of torque. I used a braker bar and had a friend in the car with the brakes on and the car in gear but the clutch springs just absorb it. please help cant get it off thanks :-[

get a half inch braker bar, go to home depot and buy a 3 inch steel bar, like for fencing you can get like a 4-5 foot section slide it over the breaker bar. loke the flywheel up using a wedge of some kinda and bam you eithe rbreak the bolt or get it off. I had access to a 7 foot TQ wrench capable of thousands of pounds so i was lucky but this method should work too

julio taught me this last week. we removed 2 crank pulleys this way. remove the starter and use something to get stuck in the flywheel teeth. (we used a small bracket that connects to the driver's side mount)
use a breaker bar with a pipe to extend it for more leverage.
worked like a charm.
good luck.

isn't it easier to remove the flywheel inspection plate for that?

not really.
two bolts compared to four.
jacking up the car to get under it.
(in the case of the Z6, you have to remove the tranny supports also.)
the starter is easy and accessible IMO.

get the crank pulley removal tool. best $60ish investment you can make.

Re:ls crank pully
 

thanks guys, i might buy the tool from honda.

Re:ls crank pully
 

$60 for a tool you use everyday is ok.
For a hardly used tool, it's a waste.
IMO free is better.

But if you must, I'm only here to help:
