Pro tip: you can watch movies at kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Fisher Junior Definitely, I have been watching on kaldrostream for since december myself =)
When using an electric or air impact if you hold the socket while trying to remove a bolt or nut it will help in removal. Holding it won’t let the socket flop back and forth it only allows it to deliver the impact to the bolt.
I had a guy trying to remove nuts from a skidsteer wheel with an electric impact and he couldn’t get them to move and I showed him how to hold the socket and they all came off.
Hey I want to really thank you! After three broken sockets and a broken 1/2-in extension I tried your bump method and it worked flawlessly. This was a lifesaver, I'm very grateful to you for posting this, thanks again.
Glad it helped!! :)
How many miles were on your engine when doing this?
If i remember rightly, perhaps 225K@@bradenmorey6527
Cowboy method didn't work for me. The bolt was so tight it actually raised the car each time I bumped it. Tried everything then I finally borrowed a 1inch Semi air impact from the mechanic shop. When it let loose it sounded like a gun going off. The most insane fastener I've ever dealt with😂
Working in the garage with no lift, setup was similar to yours and tap the ignition was the only way to go, bolt was off in a minute rather than an hour.
The only thing I did different was lodge the power bar 'on top' of the subframe, to the right.
Lifesaver video for us backyard mechanics!! Well done..
Now, off to get a Harmonic Balancer Socket so I can torque the bloody thing back on!!
Thanks so much!!
Nothing worked until I watched your video. Once I tried your cowboy message, it worked immediately it was a huge lifesaver. Thank you.
Great to hear!!! 🔥🔥
Thanks for video. I used to do this and forgot but your content was nice and fresh.
Thank you! Liked, subscribed, commented. You saved my day! I knew right away when you said you were going cowboy style, this was the video for me
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video , I have a important question ? How do you troubleshoot a crankshaft pulley that is not aligned with all pulleys on a 2014 Honda Civic ex 1.8
My bolt is in with the force of Thor's impact hammer. Tried a crappy air impact with that giant socket, long breaker bar with the harmonic balancer socket holding it still ( I actually broke part of the harmonic balancer and a big chunk off that socket while putting all my force into it ) and have tried the engine bump at least 6 times in different ways, bastard hasn't broke loose. Bought a DeWalt impact with 1,200 lbs of breakaway torque. Waiting on new harmonic balancer to show up before I go at it. Appreciate your videos, did my valve timing job based on one you did and about to do the timing belt and water pump as well. Really glad I found your videos on the same vehicle I got!
Just checking: you're turning it the correct way, right?
@@s34nvideos Wouldn't that be embarrassing. Yeah it's going the right way, engine bump only goes the one way 😂 I've soaked it in PB blaster for days too, all that accomplished was it splashing all over the engine when I decided to just drive it the next day.
@@TheJester667 oh yeh, good point! Do you have the thick walled socket?
@@s34nvideos Yep that's what I used with the crappy air socket and the breaker bar. New harmonic balancer supposed to show up today so I'll give the new Dewalt a go with that big socket tomorrow.
@@s34nvideos Update for ya, the Dewalt did not do it lol. Had to take it to a shop, mechanic tried everything he had as well then ended up having to use an acetylene torch on the bolt to get it to break loose. That's how stuck it was! No wonder I broke tools and now I don't feel so bad that I couldn't get it done. Now it's all half way apart so I will be able to do my water pump/timing belt job and pop the new harmonic balancer on that I bought to replace the one I beat up.
cowboy method didn't even work, 20 years of changing timing belts and never struggling like this
Did you get it off?
@@abbashaider8668 nope
Ever work on a honda
@@ditiromotene2582 many times over
if you put car in gear foot on break is that good enough or do you have to lock flywheel too to avoid damage internally to the engine.
Well then. I think I know what I’m going to start with!! Not even gonna try the other methods. I’m going straight for the crank method. Thanks for this video!
haha great to hear!! Good luck! :)
Where did yu get those silver jack stands from & how much ?
Thanks for this awesome video. It saved me so much time. But took us 5 hours to try it...lol
Glad it worked out in the end!! Thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
Learning new stuff from this
Just to be sure about how much of a "bump" is needed; turning the key part you showed in the video - was that enough to bump it enough and loosen the bolt? Thanks
I did this method and used a ratchet strap to tie onto the control arm so the breaker bar would not move on a 2016 accord v6 and it worked!
Glad it worked out!
WOW!! Saved me a ton cowboy it up. Thank you
Glad it helped!
would like to ask if a push start button car would b able to pull off this trick; mine's a '14 accord . for my case i had to send it to the local mech and they had to use a truck impact gun to get it off. sadly enuf, thy used the same heavy duty truck impact gun to put it back, now im having a hard time removing it to replace the seal and water pump...
They should NEVER put that back on with an impact, it's over-torqued for sure, very silly! It could end up doing more damage in the long run.
Depends on the car, but a remote start will probably work in all cases
ruclips.net/video/FOfxPDBf8ug/видео.html
Done that when i didnt feel like removing the rad on my truck to get my 3/4 impact in there. Works like a charm and is the single fastest thing you can really do honestly
🔥🔥🔥
I can't get ANY socket to sit firmly enough on the bolt head to do the cowboy method. XD
Did the trick for me! Thanks for the vid.
Good to hear!
Hey. Thanks for this video. Will this technique work for a 2007 odyssey?
The principles will work with any bolt out there.
Your Odyssey most probably has a J35 engine, so does mine.
Helpful, useful thanks
Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe if useful. Thanks!
Cowboy method for the win can’t believe that worked, my Milwaukee ain’t got sh(t on that starter lol
Do this work on a 03 Honda Accord ex?
Yes, I did it on my 2003 accord back in 2008.
dumb question...if you use an impact on the bolt does the pulley not just turn CCW? Or am I misunderstanding how an impact works?
If you use an impact on the bolt, spark plugs in, drive belt is on, the pulley probably isn't really gonna move at all to be honest because it's high torque.
If it's a really high powered impact, it'll remove the bolt
If the impact is underpowered, the internal hammer will spin freely and the bolt won't be removed. It'll just make a noise like in the video
If you google something like 'How an impact wrench works' there should be a good article! It's interesting!
And don't forget the woodruff key (half‑moon key) that will fall out when the pulley is FINALLY removed. It's in that slot on the crank shaft snout (where the bolt screws in).
God bless you bro helps alot
Unfortunately with the RL, the ignition will not let you bump the key since it automatically turns over until the car starts...I got the junkyard part off an Odyssey J35 while I'm waiting on the new pulley to arrive...would have been $452 for one at AutoZone, online price is $60 brand new...I went with a lightweight for $130...funny part is that AutoZone calls it a harmonic balancer despite the fact that it has none of the features of an actual harmonic balancer, which they stopped using outside of Ford and Chevy v8s anyways.
You just saved me. Cowboy up!
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man it's work.
Now that's my kind of easy and no broken knuckles
Where is your pulley located, at the right side or at the left side, i mean we have also a honda city, the pulley was wiggleing side to side, the side of the pulley is in the left when you are the driver side, im in the Philippines sorry for my bad english
In the US: on the passenger/near side/right side of the car/engine.
Aww, so your trick will not work on our car, because our pulley located at the left side, when you crank it, it will tighten, thank you for answering my question!! Godbless
@@kyllemanuzon672 yes it will! Just put it on top of the control arm lol, not underneath! :)
No i mean if i crank my engine then the spin of the engine will counterclockwise so how can i put the tools to untighten them, teach me how
@@kyllemanuzon672
passenger side:
If it spins clockwise, put wrench UNDER control arm
If it spins anti-clockwise, put wrench ON TOP of control arm
driver side:
If it spins clockwise, put wrench ON TOP of control arm
If it spins anti-clockwise, put wrench UNDER control arm
lol :)
I would highly recommend disabling the car when doing this method. Dont want it to start
Undo all high tension plug before cranking itshould nit start the engine 👍😊
It won't, but for a tiny bump, I doubt it would have the chance to try and think about starting
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Although I didn't use this method, I successfully removed mine using: 1. The heavy triple-walled 19mm socket, 2. Kroil Penetrating Oil sprayed twice a day over 3 days, 3. Heated the bolt area with a electric heat gun, 4. Removed with a Harbor Freight EarthQuake 1000 ft-lb Air Impact Wrench. I first tried with an electric Impact which was not up to the task.
Thanks for the update! wow what an ordeal! Hope it helps others!
06 Acura TL? Bump start it off?
Sorry, what is the question?
The heavy socket actually has almost no effect on flexing. It's the weight alone that is doing the work.
I respectfully disagree. I would like a source for your claim though, im happy to debate anytime
@@TutorialGenius The source to look at is the patent for the IR power sockets. Have you seen the IR power sockets? They have the same wall thickness as the regular sockets. Only the have essentially a large flywheel added. Because it's the mass (more specifically, moment of inertia) and not the stiffness.
Read for yourself: patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/7f/39/3a/4ddae6d130f54b/US9463557.pdf
Can the cowboy method work without the serpentine belt on?🤔
Am I being trolled here? lol
@@TutorialGenius no sorry , sounded like common sense never tried it .
BUT I did try it!
And no luck:(
Thank you ! 🙏🏼
I have an electronic push to start on mine. I don’t think I can get it on and off fast enough without causing damage.
Just unplug the spark plugs wires, the engine won't start.
Who knows what damage that can cause BUT IT WORKED! Nice work
Great! I hope you will subscribe to me soon!
We’ve been busting crank bolts like that forever. Doesn’t cause any damage.
Thanks
Welcome! :)
Why is this not the top video? This could have save me days and an air compressor
Glad it helped! :)
Out trying to remove the pulley bolt at the moment, what if bumping the engine didnt work?
If bumping didnt work, then check out the other comments here. Somebody even resorted to a acetylene torch!
Saturn cars have Honda engines?
A limited run did, yeah
Since some vehicles steering wheel are on the opposite side like Australia, England and Indonesia.
You would place the ratchet wrench (breaker bar) on top to brace it on rather than on the bottom.
ATG suggests to do the ATG's complete timing belt kits:
1. Timing Belt
2. Tensioner
3. Water Pump
with gasket
4. Pulleys
5. Rollers
6. All belts
7. Camshaft Seals
8. Crankshaft Seal (front)
9. Rear Main Engine Seal (good luck getting to this one)
10. Oil Pump's O-ring (good luck on getting this out, also)
11. Valve Cover Gaskets
12. Spark Plug Gaskets
13. Valve Cover Bolt Gaskets
14.Check all Motor Mounts. Pray that the back motor mount is good
15. Thermostat with gasket
16. Top & Bottom Coolant Hoses
17. Change all coolant hose clamps to screw type.
18. In and output hoses from firewall
19. Check ATG (auto timing groves on three placed @ Spark Plug #1)
20. Then hand crank the Crankshaft's Bolt clockwise (USA) and check ATG minimum of 4 times
haha! I'm sure they do!
Put a timing kit on and call it a day.
No you can't. You will tighten it, the pulley spins counterclockwise.
@@ochaarul786 if you tighten it enough it will be loose...
And replace engine
Thanks good idea but I'll have too cowboy up the nerve to try it but l may soon be desperate 🤣
It'll be fine!
that is a Saturn 0:14 Honda? is that a J-swapped saturn?
I think I don't understand your question, but everything is stock on here. Saturn with J35 engine, yep
Do you need that specific socket to do the cowboy method
I would.... I bet something thinner would just crack the socket and it might fly off and crack something. But if you're willing to give it a try, you might get lucky!
It is a very old and easy think but some people Always must make a new ideas and forgot an old school rules...
100%!
Cowboy method failed, snapped a half inch breaker bar though. Definitely worth trying though.
What brand/material was that breaker bar?
I too ran into the "infamous" super-hyper-tight crankshaft bolt on an Acura integra, never did get it off.
Has anyone tried a Torque multipler? There are torque multipliers on the market that can output 4275 ft lbs.....truckers use them all the time to take off stuck lugnuts on tires, with little effort.
Look up torque multipliers on RUclips and you'll find them boys remove high torque, over tightened, rusted up, stuck lugnuts with minimal effort.
Update.....I bought and used a torque multiplier to remove the crankshaft bolt from a 2001 Ford Taurus.....it was easy.....much much easier than using a breaker bar, just a couple of rotations of the torque multiplier and the crankshaft bolt was loose.
What about with a start button how would I bump it
I guess the only way would be to loosen up the negative battery terminal. Have someone push the start button and you remove the battery terminal very quickly so that it stops trying to start. If you damage something don’t blame me. I just use a longer breaker bar to remove mine. I put my feet on the brake caliper to push myself and the pull the bar. Took several tries but I did it.
@@gtdodgeviper Another way would be to remove the wire going to the starter and use another wire or probe to jump it from the battery. Connect one end to the battery then touch the starter terminal briefly.
Have a d17 engine
Tried almost evrything bumped the key abt 10 or 15 times. The fucker still isnt loose
Not all heroes wear capes
Glad it was helpful! :)
I didn’t know GM / Saturn used Honda motors ?
Most people don't! It was short lived, but those engines are workhorses!
Wish I found this video 5 hours ago!
Now try that with the engine off the vehicle 😂😂😂
No problem! Give me 200 bucks for a good impact and it'll be right off!
Don't mess with the 19mm crank bolt, just go to a pawn shop get an electric 1/2 impact gun and buy a 19mm impact socket, you will thank your investment.
Tell me you didn't watch the video, without saying: you didn't watch the video
Your impact gun is worthless
It's not mine, but thank you! :)
It's part of the build-up process to the cowboy method :)
But imagine if it worked haha!
