Removal of the crank bolt made easy! Mechanic Life Hack, removing or loosening a stuck seized or thread used with thread loving sealant.
Confirmed from several sources that the 22mm bolt retaining the Harmonic Balancer has a Torque setting of 330nm/243ft/lbs.
As the car is Auto you cannot simply place in gear - and hang off a breaker bar with 2m of pipe - you either have to lock the harmonic balancer using a tool (which i made to reinstall), remove the starter motor and lock the ring gear or use the drive belt as i have used here. the RE INSTALLATION PROCESS is in the following link:

No shit! I've been a mechanic for 14 years and never even seen this technique. I found this video while also fighting with a JZ crank bolt. It was that tight that I was sure this would tear the front off the water pump. But sure enough it worked!
💪🏻 water pump flex 😂
Thank ya Jeebas I found you! Tried stuff and bent stuff. I had most of the front components already removed to begin taking off the front cover. The video I watched on my truck, the guy easily used his impact gun and it came right off. Not for me. Long story short, used your method of tucking in the extra belt with only a few pulleys to work with, and then a 3"x3' section of steel fence pipe as a cheater bar with a breaker bar and socket. Only a few turns and it cracked and then spun out! I even tried using the cam lock tool to try holding everything. Almost worked but crank still tried to rotate. Hopefully I didn't mess up my harmonic balancer's current alignment like someone below pointed out. At least bolt is out and I'm continuing on! Much Love!!!
Wow! She sounded tight as! Glad this helped you!
I hope you see my comment. After hours of blood sweat tears, and efforts that could have potentially damaged my engine, your method work and I took a total of 15 mins to get the old balance off, and the new on. I can't thank you enough!!!! (2009 Merc E350)
That is awesome news! You are most welcome, thank you for your support.
I would just like to say that I have spent the better part of 7 hours trying to get that bolt off using every trick I could find on the internet and this one worked thank you so much man
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! 08 MDX!! This worked when all else failed!!!! Harmonic balance bolt was stripped from stupid specialty socket! Belt trick 4 min! You are a gentleman and a scholar!
This is God tier advice, thank you so very much
Thank god!! I was about to give up and this was my last resort before calling a mechanic but this works!! Fast and easy too! I'm soooo excited! Thank you so much for posting this!❤
This trick worked like a charm on my 2JZ after several failed attempets with other tools. Thank you!
+enulf your welcome
+enulf your welcome
It works like a champ!!!! 2009 Escalade. Thanks for passing on this knowledge. I wish I could buy you a beer!
Cheers for the offer, I’ll crack one anyway :)
Bro. Thank you for sharing! We've been at it for 4hrs. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for this! I just didn't this on my 2jzge and worked flawlessly. I just hope I didn't mess up any accessory bearings.
Thanks for this tip, worked perfectly
Good thinking! Literally Saved me time and money !
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.
Thanks for posting this. Also used this method to stop my water pump from spinning when trying to remove the pulley off it.
Nice I will have to try this
Thanks
Thank you for making this video
Yay, you! Bravo! Fantastic! Brilliant! Simplicity itself, even OBVIOUS (once explained by clever-persons.)
This trick works great!! Had to do it a bit different on mine. Took belt off water pump too, had to get extra friction to crank pulley. Confirmed hack! Nice job! Will post my vid soon
Great! Glad I could help :) subscribe and I will likewise.
Thank you sir I appreciate your help you just saved me all the time and trouble. 👌💪💪💪
Thank you!!!!! It worked for me on a 2007 Nissan Xterra. It saved me a lot of frustration.
Good to hear it’s helping people :)
thank you so much.. I have been a tech forever and tried every trick up my sleeve e3ven a massive impact. I ended up sadly breaking the alternator bracket even of the block trying to wedge between to hold belt tight.. this worked like a champ
+Empowered Real Estate Solutions LLC it's a good trick to know :)
SO awesome didnt have access to a air gun and this method saved me HOURS of time
+eargj your welcome, glad it helps!
What size breaker bar did you use? My 24" 1/2" looks like it's going to break. I just ordered a 3/4" 40" I'm hoping will hold up. Over 350nm didn't break it lose.
Thanks a million this worked perfectly with a 18in breaker bar
Aewsome! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the tip. Worked great!
I use it all the time now :)
Very nice
Thank you
Brilliant
Ayy it works like a charm! As long as you have 2 other pullies to wrap the belt around, it’ll work! Cheers!
very true, most cars would have an alternator, power steer, water pump or air con pully to wrap it around i would hope :)
Been trying different methods to tighten mine after changing, 2 hours of fucking around and reversing the belt from what you've shown has got it nice and tight back in there in 30 seconds!
Happy to help, I found the video myself after a big struggle like yours and had it done and dusted in seconds!
Thank you very much i was to use the same concept to unbolt my cars pulley which i was struggling with for a whole day but what i used the alternator bullt to tighten it to c clamp and the pulley it took me only one try to take bolt out
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
Dude nice video. Work on alot of 2jz here in the USA and this is awesome.
Glad it’s helping some people :) I certainly have used this technique many times!
I'm going to give this a try before I do the starter bump method. Unbelievable that a belt can handle that kind of force.
There was no way my starter was undoing that crank bolt!
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial I tried it last night, broke my belt lol. It snapped in half. The starter method worked like nothing though.
I’ll be trying this ASAP, This is the last ditch effort! Fingers crossed and thank you for one last idea!
It worked!!! Car has been sitting for MONTHS with this problem. I can’t believe how well this worked. Took 2 minutes or less. I have spent hours and hours on this thing.
Great to hear and thanks for the follow up post!!
Will this work on automatic car without locking flywheel and removing starter motor?
Not sure what your name is mate, but you're a legend. Worked a treat, great post love ya work. Subscribed.
ShaneofOz thanks for the sub! It’s a epic hack! I use it all the time :)
Killer trick!!!
+Daniel Borrome I’ve done it several times on heaps of different engines, it’s great!
Worked on Caprice ppv L77 engine thank you sir 👍
Great to hear!
What if we don't have any accessories to wrap a belt around? And I've used the impacts I have. Electric and air. And I Still can't get my crank bolt out
worked perfect.
Cheers for the comment, glad it helped!
U legand mate this saved my sanity still took a 6ft breaker bar and all of my 100kg on the end of it but it got there
Dang!! That’s tight!! Glad I could help
If engine turns the way to loosen the bolt put breaker bar on frame bump starter over worked on my 5.3 Chevy
Tried many times on this, but was not enough to break free.
This helped me so much. I spent an hour trying to hold it with different leverage point on my grand Cherokee but as soon as I did this it broke loose so fast you are a natural badass. Now I need a FUCKING PRESS TO PUT IT BACK ON instead of a longer bolt and a bunch of washers.....
Man.....dat is a good hack.i did t today
I owe you a beer. Cheers buddy.
You can have any brew you want - as long as it’s a Corona
I'm gonna try this tomorrow. I've tried everything possible. The only thing I haven't tried is my impact wrench because it won't fit in the IS300 bay in front of the engine. I'll let you know if it works! :D Thanks!
How did you go?
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial I ended up with a 7ft steel pole on the breaker bar and another breaker bar wedged against the ground using the Toyota crank bolt tool 😂
If you don't have a pry bar or extension for more torque use your leg and push with a long closed end
Not enough with 1 like. Was getting the same issue on Opel Vivaro bus. And this trick worked like wonder!!!!
Having seen this video after having my 2jz on an engine stand, I was very upset I couldn’t use this method, just did it on my gs300 I’m currently parting which I brought for the bottom end... I owe you a beer, it took 2 damn days to get the one off on the engine stand, I tried everything, 3/4” rattle gun, nothing would work!
One of the best posts! Shoot me an email if you want a sticker - wear it with pride on your JZ powered car :)
That Car Channel
Cheers. Can go with a few other ones on my car I’m entering into world time attack next year!
Works for barras
Nowadays, if you have an impact, buy a $27 harmonic balancer socket from Lysle, it comes off like butter in under 10 secs
Miami13 there is a number of reasons for this - access - there was only limited room at the front of the engine, I could have used a 3/4 or 1” impact wrench, but I would have had to degas the AC, remove the condenser, remove front bumper and intercooler also.
Does it work on tightening the bolt as well?
It sure does! Similar path but wrap the belt on the other side of the pump.
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial water pump?
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial yes!!!! This was the question and answer I was looking for!!!😭🙏🏼I have an is300 with a 2jz-ge and knowing that I can loosen and tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt with the serpentine belt is the easiest option. My friends air impact guns don’t fit bc of my ac condenser and I’d I have to remove it sacrificing the ac lines and having to recharge my ac. Thank you!!
It works.... BUT..... VERY IMPORTANT......
I did this but when I went to put balancer back on, the timing mark was off by about 15°, meaning the outer hub had slipped.....
Had to have been from doing this to remove it, as it was moved in the direction that would coincide with removal.....
Be careful if you do it, as now I must replace my harmonic balancer
I just subscribed.
Thank you for your support :)
What if the bolt is stuck on without the pulley in. Someone told me to turn it to top dead center with only the bolt on so I can see the markings and the sprocket stopped before that
You have the link to the original video?
ruclips.net/video/JnkcnqF_S3c/видео.html
Updated in the description
What about to put it back on if you don't have a air compressor?
I put it back on without any rattle gun or air compressor, BUT it needs to be 240lb/ft tight.. so I made up a tool to bolt to the pulley. You can buy tools to bolt on and hold still whilst you torque the bolt.
Maybe if you put a socket or something round at the fold you wont have the crease and can reuse the belt. Thanks for the informative video.
Good idea! Cheers
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial just done your method on my Frontera DTI off roader unsing the old belt and it worked a treat. No more sqeaking belt.
Thanks.
Wosh someone would show how they tightened the bolt back up
another way put car on the floor put breaker bar on nut rest end of bar on floor and start the starter
This had no chance of that, generally though that’s the first thing I try 😎
Yep! It work on my 2jz
Excellent :) thanks for watching!
this trick worked like a champ, thank you!
+kamin28 I have done this about 20 times now helping friends and family! Sometimes it takes a few minutes to workout how to set it up on other engines.
By the way, if you do the same loop but in the opposite direction... you can torque down the bolt to spec which is 245ft pounds
You’re welcome 😇
You sure can! Thanks for that :) didn’t even think about it once I made the tool haha
That why we are here, to help Each other
FUCKING LEGEND, I’ve been struggling to get this undone not even my impact can get it out but this worked first go!!!
Literally had a mate message me today with the exact same story! Must be a timing belt kinda day 😎 - you are welcome my friend!
Thanks for the tip! Just did worked like a dream!
Thanks for the comment!
I'm sure I'll need this very soon for the 100k service...
In a manual car the thousands of pounds of clamp pressure on a clutch is more than enough to hold it ;) having said that, your welcome to the tool :)
Those pulleys look beautiful. What color is that?
There just the anodised blue that they came in :) looked very good though!
What about torqueing to 140 lbs once reinstalled?
If you are referring to the JZ motor is 240 lbs / 330nm. I have a seperate video on that one where I have made a tool.
U didn't have an impact wrench? I'm definitely going to try this
yes, i had an impact wrench, an 18v Hitachi that does about 250nm.. i couldn't use anything bigger, as that would involve me taking out the A/C condensor/de-gassing the system, removing the front bar, intercooler etc etc.. i had the radiator out obviously but there is only so much room there up front :)
the torque setting for the bolt is 330nm/243lb/ft - the 250nm rattle gun had little to no chance! the other thing - the car is auto, so simply leaving it in gear and hanging off it with 2M of pipe on a breaker bar was not an option (without removing the startermotor and fitting a ring-gear chock)
to re-tighten the new setup i made a brace that held the pulley so that i was able to use a 3/4" torque wrench
which is in this video here :) ruclips.net/video/HZDCTfq3_w0/видео.html
That Car Channel did u have enough space for a pneumatic impact wrench? The method u show is simple enough for anyone without pneumatic tools though. I've been dreading removing mine until now lol
unfortunatly not - i barley fit the Hitachi in there.. i only have one pneumatic impact wrench, it's huge in comparison and doesn't have the same torque as my Li-Ion one :)
Shit works! awesome tip
It has saved me numerous times now with other engines
This is actually fucking genius, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the comment! Haha - it made my day!
+That Car Channel dude I just tried this & holy fuck it works great
I might have to try this if the "starter bump method" doesn't want to work.
Post back if you remember! :)
Post back if you remember! :)
I'll try to remember. Thanks.
I have a question doesn't this put a lot of strain on the other pullies? But i am busting myself to undo a crank bolt at the moment... 🤔
Probably no more than the get when the thing is spinning at 8000rpm+
@@ThatCarChannelOfficial im not lucky enough to get 8000rpm but yeh fair point, i do have an old belt and need this bolt off
The JZ has 320nm of tightening, so who knows how much was torque was used to breakfree!
Let us know how you go hey!
@@ThatCarChannelOfficialwill do man 👍
Watch how scotty kilmar does it on his channel. He cranks the engine once then he loosens it by hand. Dont know if that really works
yes that really works, been using that technique since I started mechanic job in 2005. just crank the engine, and headache in gone.
That method doesn't work if your battery is near dead and your car is pulled into your garage and can't get a jump. Took me days to get that bolt out lol
Big Fuckin Woop... lmao
Glad it helped mate.
I had no other choice
why didnt u use a power bar and a BFH
BriggsMower it's automatic - the crank needs to physically be stopped from turning. If it was manual it wouldn't be an issue at all.
im talking about the ones u hit with hammers we use them all the time at work
don't have one of those, cheers for the suggestion though.
no probs
Don't do this on a 1jz/2jz it separates the crank pulley from the base, I just did it FML lol or maybe my crank bolt is just on there too tight
Maybe your pulley was absolutely knackered? Might need to look at the tool to hold the 2 bolts in place in the centre? I made one so I could re tension to 330nm.
that's not a seized bolt of yout could remove it with a rubber belt holding it in place
What ever dude you never placed the square bar over the breaker bar, " FAIL"
This torn my belt in half 😢. Cranking it, no luck. Snapped my extension clean at the head. F me. Bought a more powerful impact, going to try again tomorrow.
