Dude, I went through two broken knuckles, a broken tool, an impact wrench, messed up shoulder cuff, and in the end, wrapping my serpentine belt around the AC Compressor with a rachet with bar on the end of it worked. Not only did it work, I barely felt it break free. This was amazing ingenuity. Thank you!

Also, I cranked on it so hard that it broke my seized engine free, which was why I was taking it apart to begin with Lol

I'm glad you found this video helpful

I helped a Honda guy do that once. Instead of a swivel head ratchet I used a 3/4 drive T-wrench & a 4' long piece of 1" pipe on the T-wrench. Started with a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer & a 19mm impact socket. Broke the adapter so I welded the socket directly to the adapter because we couldn't find a 3/4 drive 19mm socket. Finally got it off but it was a struggle.

Yep this is the same issue when trying to change the water pump and timing belt on my son 2005 civic now I got to get the high torque electric impact wrench 🤬

That crank bolt is a pain, nice way of using the belt to assist.

Looks fun i don't know why I didn't take it out before pulling the motor but I'm in for a treat i guess.

Great job. Thank you thank you very much for this video and life hack. I had the same problem on my Audi TT nothink worked but your method with the belt was geat thank you❤️

You need a 3/4” breaker bar and a hollow pipe to extend your lever.

Use a 1/2 in high torque impact and a 19mm lisle crankshaft socket

I use a Milwaukee 2767 1/2" M18 high impact wrench and have never had a problem. The newer Milwaukee 2967 with the M18 XC 6.0 Forge is even more powerful. I do, however, remember the days when I had to struggle and took a chance of getting hurt. Luckily, those days are long gone.

I know. That same thing happened to me on my 1989 Honda Crx HF. I used a brand new Snap-On 1/2" air impact which was the top of the line at the time and it didn't budge the crankshaft bolt. Taking that bolt off was a nightmare. This technique was a great tip for those that don't have any sort of impact wrench. @@kybirge3431

So long as it's anchored by something heavy enough, or in a position where you can stand on whatever is holding it, you will nearly ALWAYS have more torque pulling UP on a bar/ratchet than pushing on it, as you're using your strength, rather than just your body weight.

I'm using a 6200Nm torque multiplier (1:78) attached to the pulley.

Thank you men, you saved me!

Hey hey no problem. Thanks for the comments

That made me sweet just watching it I'm doing mine as we speak can't get it to budge and engine is still in car lol😢 what if I heat the bolt first

Put some anti-seize to make it easier for the next guy

Weighted sockets

M18 high torque Milwaukee will solve the issue with one finger

didn't work on ferrari and many honda models.

I invented a tool it will take the bolt out less than two minutes.

Can this work for tightening the crank bolt?

Dude I went through two divorces and a new engine before I got that bolt off

My Honda 3.5 bolt is stuck after I broke the 30" breaker bar using the starter motor trick. Don't know what else to do.

I can't help but think that... For at least 70 years, of automobile construction, nobody, had to worry about the crank pulley coming off. And then snap-on comes along with a little thunder gun.... And now nobody can get it off. Do you understand what planned obsolescence is yet? You're not supposed to fix that piece of s***. Is it supposed to throw it in the trash and get a new one. So Honda can stay in business. So Mopar can stay in business. So Ford can stay in business. Chevrolet and a great mistake corporation, and toyota, and hyundai.... They can't afford to build good products anymore.
