Default Damper Tools

Anyhow know where I can get these tools to change my damper pulley? I am all about renting it or would a local garage have it? Looks like it is a common tool for 1995+ Hondas. All of you supercharger guys had to do this too.

The point of the tool is to stop the crank from rotating so you can pull the bolt off.

The quickest way is to use an impact wrench. If you don't have one, you can also put the car in gear and pull the e-brake up as hard as you can and lock the tires and the try and wrench it off.

An old (sketchy) trick people have used in the past is to put a socket on a breaker bar and wedge it against the floor...and when you crank the starter (you should probably pull your fuel pump fuse), it will rotate the pulley and break loose the nut.

I've tried that method (not on the S2K). I do not recommend it.

I second the impact wrench if you can find one that fits in the tight space.

I managed using a 2 foot long breaker bar, with the vehicle in 5th gear and someone inside the vehicle pushing on the brakes. We used the same process when putting back on but used a standard torque wrench, instead of the breaker bar. Thanks to all for your suggestions!
