I'm in the process of swap my head, I noticed the reason why I blew my lastest head was because the last time it was swaped honda didn't align the chain correctly so I'm doing it myself this time. Does anybody know how I can remove the crank pulley without the "special tool"!!?? I noticed a hole should I stick a screw driver into it and wedge it?

 

I wouldn't do it without the special tool. Summit has the moroso one. The bolt is torqued to 181ft lbs so your screw driver will not be much of a match against it.

 

do you know the art number for it? Does anybody know if you can rent this from auto zone?

 

you cannot rent it from autozone unfortunately (at least by me.)

every car parts store that i asked about it looked at me funny when i mentioned the existence of this part.

you can order them from honda, or summit. ebay has them too.

 

Mechanics shops have crank pulley removers. You can have them do it, borrow it or just buy your own.

 

It is not a pulley remover its a crank pulley wrench.

Maybe you could just get a piece of steel rod and weld an appropriate sized nut on the end of it. That's what it looks like to me.

 

Thats what was done here locally and we just pass it around to what ever member needs it at the time. Too bad your not in Seattle. I just borrowed it last weekend to do my SC.

 

I ordered it from Honda............big bucks. Over $100, and that was with my vendor account. If you order it, remember there are two part numbers to get. One is for the handle and the other is for the head end.
