al tool?

I'm doing the timing belt on my gf's V6 Accord and can't get the damn crank pulley off. I've tried a torch and PBblaster coupled w/ a makeshift strapwrench (visecripts, serp belt, 2' screwdriver) against a 3' breaker bar and i've tried a corded electric impact gun. no luck

The pulley has a recessed hex shaped indention. Is there a honda tool thats like a long handle w/ a big hex to fit this? one could then pry against that w/ a breaker bar.

Any idears? Anyone want to weld me up a tool?

there was a thread with directions to make one from parts at lowes for 20 bucks

11/10/2006 10:36:16 PM

reallllllllly? i'll search

damn, you know i went in halves with a friend on that tool, but he moved to charlotte.

try to get your GF to sit in the car with the foot on the brake, in 5th gear(if 5spd).

and get a breaker bar and a nigger rigged extension behind the breaker bar and pop it loose.

if not.... then stick a lifetime warranty screw driver (flathead) on the side of the brake caliper where there is a slot...

its an auto.

i found an idea for the home depot tool and one where i can stick an extension in some auto tranny hole and jam something up.

i found the tool for $16 on amazon.com. hot damn.

11/10/2006 10:58:59 PM

That is the piece of shit tool. I've got the OTC Stinger one. cost about twice as much, but looks twice as pretty.

11/10/2006 11:07:54 PM

hmmm... that tool looks a bit iffy.. haha

but make sure its for the right car..

the D series is different from B,H,K,L,W,Q,I.. blah blah..

This thing has proven to be popular. I had to use it again because the crank bolt came loose AGAIN after torquing it to the spec. Now it has thread locker and 210 lb-ft. I still haven't welded the reducing bushing in place yet. For now I just use some 1/4x20 sawed off bolts to keep that fitting in place.

11/10/2006 11:18:26 PM

sooo many implications

OH NO NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN

11/11/2006 2:08:14 PM

i built the tool above out of pipe fittings, etc and after some grinding to make the hex part fit and me bouncing on the end of a 5' pipe on a breaker bar, i heard the SNAPOP! i've been sweet dreaming of. oh yes. oh yes.

gg

11/11/2006 5:05:40 PM

done. working on V6 FWDs sucks.

11/11/2006 10:38:25 PM

i'll sell this tool to somebody. cost like $20 in parts plus an hour of griding to make the bitch fit. $40

11/12/2006 11:22:00 AM

I'll sell the POS one I made a couple weeks back for $10. It's just a couple of pipe fittings, but it got the job done for a '90 accord auto.

& you all were right, loosening up the motor mounts isn't that bad

You only had to remove about 1/64"-1/32" to get it to fit.
