Or heat it up very slightly with a torch and try the vise grips again. I've seen tight tensioner bolts before, but never that tight.

I thought about welding it.......but no welder
i can JBweld a socket onto the bolt and let it dry, but i dought that will work either
i mean this bolt is so ------- tight

do you release the tension turning counter clock?
or the other way


Im thinkin about MAKING the belt fit over the gears
dont know how but its a shot

turbozexcrxman

well i used a impact chisel to hit the bolt, missed and broke the tensioner......
I ordered a new one for a 95 dohc vtec delsol.... i have a b16a same ---- right?
well anyways im gonna break the rest of it off and maybe that'll give me just enough leverage to get the damn bolt off....
i have such a bad run of luck

Is it counterclockwise to loosen the bolt lookin from the crank pulley......
im starting to think the guy that owned this motor b4 me jbwleded the ------- thing in there
Ive been hittin it with an impact chisel fro 2 hours and the damn thing hasnt turned an inch
something is wrong here.....bad wrong


b4 i know it ill crack the fuking block and ruin the motor over a goddamn bolt....
WTF can i do.....im open to ALL suggestions

You need to somehow hold the crank pulley from turning. Most impact guns won't take them off with simply a small house sized air compressor.

It's normal for them to not want to come off.

yes your fine with the del sol b16a unit

Im talkin about the timing belt adjustment pulley
that little ****** *** bolt that you turn to release the tension on the timing belt....
yeah it WONT come off.....the owners manual says 40ft pds to tighten the thing
this is more like 200ft pds

I dont see how someone could get it on that tight without snapping the bolt
either that or its reverse thread which on a honda i dought it

Guy-Fast

ya the tensioner which it is not reverse thread. I have never seen one that tight I hit it with my harbor freight impact and I ahve never had one not come off on the first shot

turbozexcrxman

yeah.....this bolt is on there so tight that with the impact it cut a slot right though the bolt.....its a mangled pice of metal now....dont even look like a bolt anymore .....this is all that keeps my car running since i got your tranny i bought

a 14mm still fits ok so i jb welded the shitt outta the bolt and put the socket on there...im gunna let it sit till 2morrow then put my wrench on it....either the bolt will snap and ill have to drill it out OR the jb weld will not hold.....
this is getting so patetic that i actually laugh at the whole ordeal........this might jus involve dropping the motor to hammer something on there to get it out

ive owned this car 4 1\2 months put a b16 in it a turbo kit a new tranny and it all come down to one ------- bolt that keeps me from driving

what luck

Guy-Fast

trust me I have been through crap like that and worse. Ya just glob the jb weld on there and try tomorrow
