The problem isn't your wimpy little ratchet but rather that trying to loosen the pulley bolt with your wimpy little ratchet doesn't do much more than spin the crank. Don't feel bad though, you'll get the same results with your friend's big, whopping ratchet. A number of methods have been concocted over the years to stop crank spin, none of which work all that great, like chain wrenches that usually end up marring the pulley to lodging scary objects in between the flywheel and bell housing. The solution lies with the guys who developed the pulley in the first place, and for a fraction of the cost of that new air compressor. honda's crankshaft pulley holder slips inside any '90 and newer honda pulley with a 50mm hex opening and fastens to most frames via a preexisting 8mm threaded hole. With the crank locked in place, even your wimpy little ratchet can get it to budge.
If it is the Accord, yeah, those crankbolts are a SOB to get out; really the hardest part of a timing belt R&R on an Accord. I believe the factory uses red loctite on them.
Most 1/2 impacts don't have enough balls to remove them. You definitely need the crank hold down tool (about $45) before you tackle this job. I have helped the removal by applying a small amount of heat to the face of the bolt with a plumpers type torch. I follow it up by using a 4ft piece of steel cheater pipe on a breaker bar while someone holds the hold down tool in place.
Had one that make a gunshot type sound when the bolt finally broke loose; sounded like someone shot a rifle in the shop....scared the crap out of everyone, they were ducking behind cars and tool boxes

I bought a Milwaukee 2767-20 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench w/ 48-11-1850 5.0Ah Battery, a Lisle 77080 19 mm Harmonic Balancer Socket for Honda/Acura & other assorted items for the timing-belt job in my 4th-Gen Acura TL.
With that High Impact wrench (& Lisle 19mm socket) that bolt came off like butter 🧈. I bought those things from Amazon after watching my brothers try to take that bolt of two other 4th-Gen TLs & a 3rd-Gen for an entire day. When it was my turn to do the job on my car I got ready. I simply brought a bazooka to a knife fight lol.
Yessir, spent 5 hours last Saturday playing with the bolt, woke up Sunday morning and took my ass to home Depot for the Milwaukee. Not even 5 seconds of torquing and it was completely off. Love how the accepted methods seem to be using the starter and jamming a breaker bar in your suspension or just shelling out for a Milwaukee. Awesome tool
I’m not a fan of the starter trick. Not only are you putting a tremendous amount of stress of the internal workings of the engine I have heard of guys stripping the bolt trying to do that. Then your in a real world of hurt!
@@michaelsimmons4230 Yep, a high torque electric wrench & a “high-mass” 19mm bolt (for J-series V6 engines) will do the job in less than 3secs… vs 3 hours with more conventional ways.
& I’ve used the starter-engine torque trick when trying to take off a super tight wheel hub bolt. It works but it could be dangerous.
@@bundysgarage agreed
I’m fighting right now!!!!
Use a jack! Just place it under the breaker bar and keep jacking it up until it breaks free. I learned this on RUclips a few months back and it’s been a game changer!
How would you position the jack? I remember doing this to loosen a CV nut, worked flawlessly
@@crazytimes288 With the car lifted, you should be able to have enough room between the car and the floor. Just put the breaker bar on the nut, place the jack under the handle as close to the ground as possible, and start jacking it. I’m sure you could even use an extension like this video if you want more room
I like how you used the jackstand to support the extension. So simple and yet I have never thought of that. Thank you!
Love your channel! I am going to be doing my very 1st Honda J series timing belt replacement this weekend on my 2001 Accord Coupe with the 3.0 and I’ve watched several videos and bought all the necessary tools for this specific job, I really hope mine doesn’t fight me like some of yours have! Thanks for all the great videos and information!
This video saved me. I tried everything. My 1/2 impact, my brothers impact with a lisle socket, a torch, a 1/2 breaker bar. Nothing worked except your recommendation on 3/4. You saved the day! Thank you
I used a 3/4 inch socket with a 3/4 inch drive, 4 ft, breaker bar, and it came off relatively easy on my 2007 Honda Accord V6.
That's the same kinda problems I face when wrenching get the most stubborn bolts from time to time giving a real workout physically and mentally, so your my kind of mechanic who knows how real wrenching gets sometimes. 😎
This totally worked! though I used a half inch setup. First try i sheared the tip of a 5” -1/2” extension. Then the next try it worked! You saved my ass dude!
I certainly am appreciative of how understanding you are of the situation that we're all in, I see so many videos where they like yes just go buy this tool I'm like awesome when I get a vehicle and can drive 60 miles I'll go get one
Times are tough ever since Jan 2021
Thanks for this video. I was thinking of buying a power bar to do this. ITs good to know there are more options!
You are my hero! I’m going to go try this. I have spent a small fortune on tools trying to get that bastard loose. I don’t have a 3/4” breaker bar, but I’ll try it with what i have. Will report back.
These bolts are on for good. They need a total redesign with the mechanic in mind. Good vid. You really went to war on her. :)
Worked for me thanks for the tip
Oh my God, I just did this same thing yesterday (but used a jack instead of a jack stand) and now tonight happened across this video!
Tightening is the same thing just the opposite side.
garenteed to work-for you. Those of us that dont have that weird tool that goes on the crankshaft are still SOL .... iVE SPENT AROUND 6 HOURS OFF N ON THRUOUT THE DAY & STILL STUCK UNABLE TO break mine loose.
Okay day 2 of toiling with this damn bolt. I tried a Harbor “Fright” Earthquake 1200 lbs of torque half inch socket impactor. Nothing. Bought an electric Bauer 1/2” impactor with a shit ton of torque and break away power. Nothing. I snapped a 1/2” breaker bar that was made by TEQ TOOLS….. that sucks. The bar did too. Now I bought the big stuff. 3/4” breaker bar, to a 1/2” extender attached to a 1/2” 19 mm socket. This doesn’t work I’m calling the local Lake Michigan DNR and see if they need a new addition to the reef.
I know your pain. Your weak point will be dropping down to half inch. Now that you have the 3/4 breaker bar get 3/4inch extensions, and a 3/4 inch 19mm socket and then a cheater bar. Had an odyssey that I used this set up on over the weekend. Got it off after nothing else would.
Dude!!!! Nice job!!
Awesome job 💪🏼🛠️🇺🇸🫵
For me I was hammering on that bolt for awhile then what really helped is actually using the impact to tighten the bolt first then flip it in reverse and it spun right off.
I like you already. Let’s tackle this together. That’s my man!!!!
I use a special sockets from Ingersoll Rand S64M19L-PS1 PowerSocket, 19mm and it works for me all the time.
Hey, thanks for the tips man! I'm currently in this position on our 08 pilot. I bought the fat socket, 19mm, the chineseium one unfortunately, not the lisle one :( . It came with the holder tool, but they don't fit together, lol. then I read the description further, and in the middle somewhere nestled between 2 other lines, between the photos, "NOT TO BE USED TOGETHER"!!! What the heck. Anyway, I guess I should take the tire off being as I may be pulling the engine anyway. I was struggling to find a decent spot to get any real leverage, and was not having any luck. 1 pulled pectoral muscle later, I find your absolute gift of a video, and I will hopefully be on to getting the cover off. I need to pull bank 2 head. No compression on cyl 6. 350K km wish me luck :S
I just broke the crankshaft pulley bolt loose on my 2008 Honda Fit! I used a "3:1 Torque Multiplier ($257 new on Amazon)" and the crank pulley holding tool ($13). I ran a bunch of 1/2" extensions out from the multiplier and rested them on a jack stand and used a breaker bar with a 4 ft. cheater pipe on it and it broke loose. Even though the torque multiplier is rated for 1100 ft/lbs, I still had to put out on that cheater pipe. My 450 ft/lb. electric impact with the special crankshaft 19mm socket from Honda was not enough to break it loose.
This whole time I that the crank and vct acuator had to be aligned first to do this and each time I went to war it wasn’t on top dead center thanks man ama get a cheater bar and breaker bar
What's the torque speck on that bolt some say 181 and there's a form on 47lbs + 60 degree turn.
My dewalt 1/2 impact and the lisle socket ripped it off no problem even after 245k miles but thankfully I’m in the south
Nice!
you can do easy way by using 1' impact the one they use on 18 wheel tire change just one easy click the bolt came off like the hell
Or you can pull your ignition fuse and bump the engine with breaker bar and socket attached. Just support breaker bar on the fram or something.
I have an 08 pilot and the struggle is real haha. I tried heat last night and it didn't work. Used penetrating oil and let it sit all night. Impacts don't do a thing on these I swear.
Yep it a pain in the ass cause I were trying to change the water pump and timing belt on my son 2005 civic with the Honda special tool and it just wouldn’t work now I’m gonna have to get a high torque impact wrench 🤬
If you don't have the Milwaukee high torque impact, an air impact with 1/2 hose sometimes does the trick for removing the bolt.
Even then they don’t always come off.
Bought a used 3.2 from LKQ and needed to use a 3/4 breaker with *6 FEET" of cheater pipe (not including the original 20" breaker bar) in order to break it loose.
I'm 210 lbs and was hanging on my 2 cheater-bar extensions about 7 feet out. Had to build a frame to keep the engine from tipping over....
Friggin ridiculous!!
Hello I have an 03 accord 3.0 v6. Can you please explain the part about lining up the timing marks?? I'm about to replace my pulley and that sounds very important.
The crankshaft pulley can only be put on one way. It has a notch that lines up with a woodriff key on the crankshaft. If you have those alligned than timing for your drive belt should be good. Now if you are going to change the timing belt, that is something completely different.
Sweet I was worried there for a minute.
@@bundysgaragewhat are the 3 tick marks in a row next to the main tick mark on the crank pulley?
I had to heat it with a torch like you did, and used Ingersol-Rand's wireless impact gun (around 1140FT-LBS) + heavy-mass crank pulley socket. I think part of the reason why that bolt gets stuck, aside from peculiar engineering that Honda's known for, is that whoever reinstalled the bolt didn't follow the correct procedure; apply oil on part of the thread & between the bolt head & the washer.
wondered about that
Pb blaster 2days put breaker bar with socket on nut jam breaker bar under frame in opposite rotation of the nut bump starter ignition and that nut will come loose…
The 12 amp hr. Battery pack gives u 90 percent more power.
Great video. Yea man i no what you are talking just did a 2007 Honda Odyssey they are tight.😂
Propane Torch ? That's not going to work. I've done battle. Yes.. the crankshaft pulley lock, 3/4" Breaker Bar, 3/4" Extension, Car Jack, and 4' Cheater Bar !!! The 19mm bolt has a little longer head on it. Be sure to get your socket all the way on. Don't bother with heat or penetrating oil. If I remember correctly, you tighten to 42 Ft-Lbs... And then turn an additional 60 degrees. I always keep an extra bolt on hand too.
On my 2014 Accord V6, I tried everything you did, I purchased the largest Makita 1/2”, the pulley holder tool and still no luck. I seen where adding heat to it helps. I used my industrial heat Gun and heated the bolt to 300°. It came loose with the big socket and the Makita XWT08Z 18V LXT®... I think heat on the bolt is necessary.
Do you reckon a jet lighter / cook’s torch would work or would it be better to use a butane blow torch
@@h0udinl not a big fan of an open flame, not wanting to set anything on fire and I had an electric heat gun which took about 2 minutes to heat to 300°.
So my bolt actually cracked inside the threads and the harmonic balancer flew off and now the timing is off any tips?
What do you mean the bolt split? Like spilt in half? Were you able to remove it?
@@bundysgarage do you have an Instagram where I can send pics
I just use a breaker bar braced against the lower control arm, then I bump the starter. Comes off every time. No power tools or heat needed.
For real!!!???
Yes. I just put some liquid wrench on it, then I just put the socket and breaker bar on it and brace it on the lower control arm. I also just zip tie it to the lower control arm so it doesn’t slide around too much. Then I just bump the starter (just a quick bump without starting it). I was skeptical at first but it worked. Had it off in 3 mins. No messing around. There are some videos too, even Scotty Kilmer had a video and that how he does it every time.
Here is a video for an Odyssey. I pretty much do it the same way. ruclips.net/video/m8aBCUrFzSk/видео.html
Snapped every extension I owned and still nothing
I did not see a 3 ton floor jack but a 3 ton JACK STAND
Just prop the braker bar, or 1/2 ratchet up against the frame and hit the starter. I use a jumper wire and hook it to the solenoid terminal on the starter. Bump the hot post, and crank bolt 🔩 Loose!
Until it strips out the crankshaft pulley bolt…
why would it do that@@bundysgarage
Weird but my 99 1st time off pulley came off 1st try with my fat socket & 1/2" wired craftsman impact. No heat just brrraaa & it was off
Your one of the lucky ones!
battery operated impact? Huh? That oversize socket would zip if off if you used 125lb titanium hammer impact.
I use my 1400 lb torque impact gun and came off like nothing
Interesting, I have busted a few helping friends with a Milwaukee 2767 with a regular deep impact (only one I just had to torch for a bit). You have the 2663 impact? which is rated for like 600 ft-lbs at most.. lol fail. Get the Milwaukee 2767 and you won't be having to resort to any cheater bar.
He could've used buster spray
Well shit.
That Impact Drill sounds Not Too Good
You need to toss the pieces of junk impact in the trash. My impact takes that out like butter.
Too many extension bars
It will twist . You should of gone direct
With the breaker bar and socket
It gives it more force. No twist
How do you clear the fender well?
Yeah but you can pull it from the front
Most people don’t have a lift in their home garage, how are you going to pull it from the front without a lift?
I don’t just a Jack and axle stand
. You can get your breakage from the front and pull it.
They never show the actual stubborn bolt getting removed. Y’all make me sick you owe me 3 minutes.
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/rWxCgnDJuQQ/видео.html
The bolt broke loose at the end. Were you watching?
@@bundysgarage that’s exactly what I mean why was there a cut in the scene while you were saying did I get. You could have simply put the socket on and spun the bolt instagram you edited the video so who knows what happened there. When I see me where they pop the bolt and spin it off on camera I will give it a thumbs up. I have done this particular engine 4 times already. But no more commentary from me good or bad helps the algorithm put your video to more eyes.
I know what u talking about bro😫😫 honda odyssey 2008
I am currently at WAR!! with this crank bolt!!! 1/2" ratchet and extention does not budge the bolt, I will have to find a 3/4" n socket.
