Today I finally got the crank pulley tool so the install was resumed. I fastened the tool to my STB bracket and used a snap on socket wrench with their extensions bar (3 feet) After tuggin and pulling until I was beyond red *CRACK* it gave way... Or did it? After getting up (thown backwards into the wall when it gave) I saw that the extension bar actually broke at the joint. I could not believe it! Luckily it was enough to break the bolt free... I still can't believe how hard that was on there.

 

Nice story man made my day

 

Damn, I finally gave in and bought the Moroso tool for the crank pulley. I couldn't find anyone remotely close to me that had the tool for me to borrow. The local honda dealerships' technichians didn't even carry the tool. sigh* hopefully this moroso tool works or im $80 in the hole.

 

should work great, Ive used it many-a-time!

 

I used the Moroso tool. It hold the pulley perfectly.

 

moroso tool kicks ass. Got it done in 1 minute flat

 

curious if i would need the total to remove the crank pulley (selling the ctsc) if the entire motor is being removed? if so, can i borrow one from those that have purchased it? i will pay for shipping both ways of course.

thanks in advance

 

when i was reading up on the install for my car, i was really scared about how hard the pulley install would be... but when we did it with my friends we got it on the first try...

 

That's what happened to my <ahem> tool on the 1st attempt.

 

It took three guys on a double extension to break mine loose.
