Does anyone know if the Moroso crank pulley tool works on our cars? Here is a pic and link


Moroso

 

Just buy the OEM! It will come in a Honda bag then...

Haha, kidding, but an answer would be nice S2Kers!

 

What's the Honda P/N for the OEM unit? Anyone????

 

Yes it will work.

 

just go to a local shop and have the zip off the old one and zip on the new one for $20....trust me it will save you some hassle mine had to be tourched and then impacted off after me trying for a couple hours lol

 

torched?!?!

a 24" breaker bar is all it took to get my pulley off.

It's more fun to use your noggin and come up with ingenious ideas and some elbow grease to remove it.

 

yup they actually had to heat up the bolt and then spray water on it so the metal would shrink finally it came off....he said he's only done this twice in the 15 years he's worked on Hondas

 

Thanks guys! Work smarter not harder!

 

Yeah air is the way to go... I remember the good ol'e days of using 4 foot breaker bars and STILL having a bitch getting the bolt to budge. With air it spins it off like nothing.

 

using foresight i'd just pay somebody else to do the crank removal/installation. i had to buy the crank holder ($70 shipped), another 1/2" drive breaker bar, two 4' long pipes ($20), torch ($25), another 17mm socket @ $7 (as i broke the first one trying to remove the pulley bolt), and that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

mine was 2002 and it was a serious beach to get off. doing it yourself, you also take responsibility and all liability if you damage any of the fenders or any other parts. driving the car to a shop; money-wise it's cheaper, time-wise it's way less time, it's a hell of a lot less effort, and the shop doing the work has liability on damaging the car if a breaker slips when the torque is broken.

i'd vote to take it to a shop. sure you don't get the battle scars, braggin rights, and fulfillment of doing it yourself but damn, it's a hell of a lot smarter.
