First comment I've ever posted on RUclips, but I had to let you know that you, sir, are a genius! Broke the bolt loose on my ranger using this method, worked perfect!
Wow!!! That means a lot!!! Thank you for such an honored comment!!! I am happy this worked for you plus taking the time to come back to let me know. Take care, Tony
instablaster.
Did you use penetrateing spray
I agree!! You, sir are a genius. I've been mechanicing for 30 yrs but never seen this trick. Worked like a charm on my merc sable that my impact wouldn't touch. I will keep a strap in my tool bag! Thank you again!
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!! I had to run I. And show the wife the genius part of this awesome comment. 😂 You made my day and hope your day is awesome. Take care, Tony
Good to see a young guy hanging around his elders. He will learn character and skills that will serve him many times over. I shadowed my dad and learned what being a man was all about. SALUTE
Your comment means the world to me. It is very challenging these days to have young children participate with all the new technology coming out every day. Thank you and take care, Tony
This trick is slick. It worked like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to show it to everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know it helped you. Means a lot take care, Tony
305k miles Ford 5.4l 16v, worked like a charm. Finally can finish timing chain replacement. Thank you sir!
You deserve a freaking medal!!!! I have been struggling for days!!! I had my 351w out of my vehicle and needed to remove a water pump pulley I just strapped it to itself tight and boom came off!!! Thanks
So awesome!!! Thank you for letting me know how much it helped you. Take care, Tony
THIS WORKED!!) 1978 Ford F100 Lariat..) Thank you for making this video Sir ! It helped me realize that I also needed a Breaker bar to put more Strength into my turns., (Thankfully before I broke my socket wrench).,. I did have to fight with the strap once I got it tired down, to keep the pulley from turning, and hold the breaker bar at the same time, while getting leverage...But it did Grip!, and with Some PB blaster, and a little patience,. The Bolt broke FREE ! And I also got the four smaller bolts which also held the pulley in which were sung as well. Thanks to you, and Duece!!!
Nice trick! I've gotta replace the water pump on my old 96' BMW 750, and I've been pretty worried about this bolt. Definitely going to try this, thanks so much!
Worked on my 300zx!! Thank you so much! Got it all torqued and ready to go🙏🏻
Awesome!!!
Worked for me after an hour of trying other methods. Thanks!
This man is the goat. I used the engine starter trick and 2 different impacts to no avail. Took a cheater bar and all the strength in me, but mine to pop off using this method.
Awesome!!! So glad it helped you. Thank you for letting me know. Take care...Tony
Nice work. My impact has let me down too. I don't have any straps like in this video, but i have some bungee cords maybe I can make something work with those.
Excellent tip! Very helpful and I will be using it tomorrow. Thank you.
Thank you men! Awesome work and just the pass down of experience i needed. You guys ARE pros.
Special guy, thank you for the vision!!
I'm working on one soon and I might use this method. thanks for the video 👍
This worked like a charm, thank you. Crank pulley torque is 250lbft and I had to take it off for a cam swap. Had the car in gear with the brakes on and tried doing it without the strap and it was slipping the clutch.
I am so happy thank you for letting me know. Take care, Tony
Thank you sir, you just made my life that much easier
Sir thanks for the help and God Bless you for this video. Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. It means a lot if my videos help people. Take care... Tony
Thanks for this! I will try this with my M43 engine. It is torqued to 330Nm and this seems the best way so far
This tip helped me out of a hole today. Thank you! I needed to wrap the pulley with a bicycle inner tube first to get grip
Awesome!!! Thank you for letting me know. Have an amazing day, Tony
So glad I found this video. I just bought a chevette and the crankshaft pulley wasn't installed. I couldnt figure out how to get it on without spinning! Definitely going to try this tomorrow.
I so hope this does help you. Take care, Tony
Seems simple and effective. Definitely going to try this one the next I do a cambelt change
Great video! I learned something today! Thank you sir!
That's very helpful and informative. Thanks.
This was very good useful information I'm going to try this tomorrow
Great job, Duke!
Thank you so much
Worked perfectly. Thanks for the great tip
Awesome thank you for letting me know it worked for you. It makes me happy when my videos help people. Take care, Tony
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Awesome!!! Thank you for letting me know. Take care, Tony
Thank you helped me out a ton on gettin that same bolt off so thank you again
That is awesome!!!
Slick move, thanks from across the pond.
Thanks for the video used your technique and it worked perfectly, saved me a lot of time...
Awesome!!! Thank you for letting me know. Take care, Tony
Great idea , I didn’t think of that , I have a stubborn one on an old Citreon , so that’s tomorrow’s job 👍🏻thanks again

Worked great!!! Thanks for the tip!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for letting me know. You have an awesome day, Tony
Worked on my 7.3 power stroke. Used a 2” wide strap wrapped around a couple times , thanks!!
Awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know it helped. Take care, Tony
You are an absolute genius thank you soooooo much!
Thank you so much for the kind comment!!! It means a lot to me. You have an awesome week, Tony
gonna give this a try in the near future.
my impact wasn't strong enough, but this looks like a great method.
thank you and wish me luck
Hoping you success and good luck. Yes, when I tried my impact to take it off it kept spinning the motor and was afraid of tearing something up internally like valves when my timing belt was totally broke in half. Take care, Tony Please let me know
@@HowYouCanDoItToo thank you.
I just got of the phone with the dealership ,the new seal and bolt shuld be in next week .
Can't wait to try it !
Awesome!!!
worked a treat , thanks
I normally never never comment on youtube !! But this is simply brilliant, brilliant !! Thanks a ton for sharing !
You can’t imagine how much your comment means to me! I just read it to my wife. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Take care - Tony
@@HowYouCanDoItToo The Lord bless you as you go on the way !!
Thanks! worked an easy treat
That’s so awesome!!! Thank you for letting me and others know. You take care and have a great upcoming weekend, Tony
Thanks for sharing. I'd tried just about everything to break my hb bolt loose before I decided to check youtube. I used what I seen yesterday on my Lincoln LS V8. It tried to work but I couldnt get the strap alone to bite so it would slip. So what I did to get more grip/bite was to cut a piece of rubber from a bike intertube long enough to cover about 3rd of the hb. and laid it on the grooves and them wrapped my strap.
That’s awesome!!! I will definitely do that myself if I run into the situation. Thank for letting me know. Take care, Tony
Hats off to you two 👑👑
I like this idea of the frame wrap ! Thanks 👍👍👍✌✌✌🐎🐎🐎
Thank you, it sure makes it a lot easier. Take care - Tony
Going to try this right now great video.
Thank you I hope it helps you. Take care, Tony
Great Idea!!!! Thank you!
Very Awesome Trick!!!!! Wil Try It Myself!!! Props to you Sir!!!
Thank you and I hope it goes easy for you. Take care and if you get a chance please let me know how it went. Have a great day - Tony
Thanks for posting sir. This may be just the ticket to repair my leaky front seal on my F150 5.4L. I’d really prefer to use the proper torquing sequence over an impact.
Oh man very useful video! Thank you so much sir🙏
Thank you for the awesome comment! Take care, Tony
Thank you for your helpful video
This is a good way to do it, I myself do the same thing but with an old large fan belt, Rubber for grip, but i make the belt pinch under itself so the more is slips the tighter is becomes until it does not slip at all
The man is a legend. I love ingenuity
Wow!!! Thank you!!! I have to show the wife this comment cause she says totally opposite. 😂 Thank you again and take care, Tony
@@HowYouCanDoItToo haha, and a family man too.
This helped so much!!!
Awesome!!! I’m happy this helped you and thank you for letting me know it did. Take care, Tony
Great job Duce. Trying this tomorrow on a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline.
Thank you I will definitely tell Duce and please let us know how it went for you. Take care, Tony and Duce
Use this method first. Genius. Worked perfect the first time. Pulley didn’t slip at all
Awesome!!! Thank for letting me know.
Thanks! Great idea.
Just tried this on a toyota that needed torqued to 213 ft. Lbs.
Had to put a piece of rubber under the strap, but it worked. Thank you
Awsome alternative thank you
Sir you did an AMAZING Job! "if i can do it, You can too"
Thank you so much 😊 Take care, Tony
I will be doing my timing belt in 2 days. ...This is useful info since I dont have an Impact & will be wrenching it.
Hoping you much success and this method helps you. If you do notice it slipping try using more wraps if you can until it grabs. Some people in the thread added a piece of rubber that helped too. But usually a good tight wrap works for me. Take care, Tony
Shall be trying this on the weekend. Wish me luck 🙏
It’s going to work I have faith. But just Incase good luck 👍 😆 Take care and let me know how it went, Tony
@@HowYouCanDoItToo shall keep you updated. Need to get some new tools to get the fan off I think.
Great job to you and your excellent camera man!!🎉
Thank you so much!!! I will pass this on to Duce he is like 6’6” now. He’s more like a boom camera man now 😂 Have an awesome weekend, Tony
Nice. Never seen this method. I have to remove my harmonic balancer. Have been researching strap wrenches when come across this! Wish me luck, i will be using this method.
I hope this does help you 👍
It worked perfectly on my 94 LT1. Thanks for the tip!
Wow great tip
Thank you sir
genius......thank god you,
Great trick!!
Thank you!!
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.
Thank you so much for posting this At 70 I have to replace my daughter hormonic balance But could not figure out how to keep the the crankshaft from turning At about torque of 200 foot lbs. it was impossible but know thanks to you I can do it
Thank you for the kind words I so hope that this video helped you. I hope I am able at 70 to even attempt to work on vehicles. That is awesome you are able to help your daughter and save her money. You are a good father. Take care, Tony
This will save me a lot of time (if it works for me). .... Thank you!
Great help thanks!
I am so happy it helped you! It means a lot you letting me know. Take care...Tony
@@HowYouCanDoItToo thank you sir and have a great holiday. Tell deuce good job on the videography.
You have a great holiday as well and I will show Duce your comment Thank you
Thank you you are very smart 😀 I try with my kia rio.
Thank you I have to show my wife your comment 😂 seriously hope it goes well with you and take care, Tony
thanks! Just worked on my '77 Triumph Spitfire after I'd almost given up hope
I'll give this a shot tomorrow and report back. gotta torque the balancer on my 71 buick 455 to 200lbs min!
Damn!!! That’s one heck of a lot of torque. If I stood on the torque wrench I wouldn’t have enough azz!! 😂 I hope you are successful with this method. Some people in comments added a piece of rubber tubing laying around. I would try to use as many wraps as you can even if you have to add another strap to lock it if it starts to spin. Sometimes it will have to spin some until the wraps tighten so don’t give up if it spins some. I am looking forward to your update. Take care, Tony
This worked for me.
Excellent so glad it helped you! Thank you for letting me know and have a great evening, Tony
Never forget deuce
Tried this but the strap just slipped and wouldn’t grip the pulley. I had an old inner tube laying around so I cut a strip of that and then wrapped the strap around the pulley with the inner tube between the pulley and strap. Now the strap gripped the pulley and I was able to remove the bolt.
That’s awesome!!! Yes the straps have to be able to wrap enough to tighten on it’s self. I can see it slipping in cases like yours. Thank you so much for your input! I’m going to see if I can put your comment on the top to help others with the same situation. Take care - Tony
@@HowYouCanDoItToo yeah, I had plenty of wraps, if anything maybe too many. The nylon on smooth steel just needed a little extra grip in my case.
Thanks both.
Worked perfectly thanks for the idea
Makes complete sense for high torque applications I can see where you would need that extra grip
Genius level 1000!
Thank you so much!!! Take care, Tony
I thought I finally nailed it. But no.
I habe a Master MK1 from 1984 and I can't remove the water pump pulley. I know that most of these pulleys are attached with three bolts bit this one has something extra "pulley" attached on it that just spins freely. I have no clue what it doe, but it stands on it that it's from an Italian factory that makes clutches.
The thing is that when I do what you do in the video, it seems to finnaly work, but I'm a bit worried what will happen if I put all my strength in cause the whole engine is moving when I try to break the bolt loose.
Didn't work for me but it was a good idea worth a shot. I tried it both ways as I was trying to loosen the Crack pulley bolt. I wrapped it from underneath and around held the rest of the slack in the strap with one hand, then tried unloosing the bolt with a breaker bar but no luck. So then I wrapped it from the top and around the pulley still no luck the pulley still kept wanting to move as I was trying to loosen it. Crazy thing is I went to the junkyard to pull a part behind the crank pulley and that bolt came off with ease I also used my longest breaker bar with I think the bolt was 13/16 and it didn't take no effort of unloosing it. Wish I had a impact I am sure that would have spun it off with the pulley not moving.
Just and update the impact wrench worked just as I expected it to spin the bolt right off. Was worth the $329 at home depot got a carrying bag with tool battery and battery charger. This tool spun it off with little to no force like two in half uge duges and of course with it on the nut busting setting as I tried all three settings before that. Get you one if you want peace of mind and a back up plan
I had to lay a rubber piece on the pulley to keep strap from slipping but it worked like a charm! I had to put 185lbs. Of torque on my Tacoma and I almost couldn’t do it😂
AWESOME!!! I am so glad you got it!!! Thank you for letting me know it worked for you with adding the rubber piece with it. Have an amazing week and take care, Tony
Like how everyone freaks out about the timing being off after that. It's the crank pulley, not a geared sprocket nor cogged belt/timing chain that you'd find behind all the accessory drive pulleys. The only thing you have to worry about is setting up to which way the engine rotates.
Definitely gonna give this a shoot. Had to replace water pump on a 98 mazada protege which requires removing the crank pulley
Used this method with the Ratchet Strap and it worked to hold the pulley in place. I also used the "Bump Start" with a long bar and the Crankshaft bolt broke loose.
Awesome!!! I was going to try the bump start method and was worried about it flying off 🤣 If it was any more stubborn it was going to happen 😂 Take care and thanks for the comment, Tony
Great job. That showed people where HOGS eat cabbage. Good thing you got a great cameraman
😂 yes, he’s growing up to fast now. Take care, Tony
This one is good too.. but its easier to use an old serpentine or timing belt.. just place it on another pulley nearby and overlap it inside the pulley.
I hope this works pulling the actual pulley out. I got the bolt out with my Milwaukee 1/2 impact but now I can't remove the pulley without it spinning and it's driving me nuts. I need to replace my oil pump in my 4.8 vortec and this is the 2nd to last step
Hello i can say your video helped me 100% but the Seal dont comming out . How can i take the ring out ?
Love your video. Now that also shows people where the hogs eat the cabbage. You're very like you have a good camera assistant.
Ha! Been staring at that same strap right next to the car and wondering if there was some way to use it to break loose my crankshaft pulley bolt. Those special tools are too expensive.
Lol, we think alike! There has to be a way to do things in other ways when it comes to hard earned money. Take care and break that bolt loose 😀
Just use this technique it works great was fairly easy thanks
Awesome!!! I’m happy it helped you. Have a great weekend, Tony
That’s a very good idea … although the proof of the pudding is if it works on removal but on a pulley that has been in situ for a long time..
Agreed they can be a nightmare especially when taking it off even with an impact and the motor spins with it. You definitely don’t want the motor spinning on some motors because it can bend stuff. I am not a mechanic but was told on some motors it can slam the valves especially if belt is broken. I hope I never have to do it again so far since I made this video everything still working good l. Take care, Tony
Great tip. I got to 100 ft pounds and couldn't get it to stop slipping, need to get to 130
Next time cut a piece of inner tube and put it between the strap and pulley
Climbers and technical rope rescue teams use a similar knot to anchor off a tree or pole.
I like it! ...the cheapest option that works
You saved me. Thank you. I will always respect hill billy knowledge
LOL!!! I am so glad this helped you. You had me laughing but so true. lol Take care, Tony
Excuse me. Can we not put the car in gear to lock the crankshaft then tightening or undoing the bolt ?? I may be wrong please correct me.
Thank you
shout out Deuce!
Thank you and I will definitely pass this on to him ❤️
Genius
Thank you!!! I’ve been tell the wife and kids this all the time and you just clarified it. LOL seriously Thank you and Take care, Tony
Thanks iam going to try that don't want to buy a new impact
Understand that. Hope it takes care of it for you to save you money and time. Take care...Tony
