Tools and Hardware Reviews of Powerbuilt 648796 Honda Crankcase Pulley Removal Tool
Customer Review: A Necessary Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
My crank pulley needed about 700 ft-lbs for removal. If you need to get it off, and don't have a fancy impact wrench, this is a necessary tool, along with some dependable breaker bars, a jack, and some pipe to get some more leverage on your bars.
Going in unprepared turns this job from a half a day, into two days. Trust me.
Good Luck!
Customer Review: A couple tips about the timing belt replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've made it here, you're in the right place, but probably frustrated and maybe bleeding. Relax, put on a band-aid, and put it back together for another couple days while you wait for the tool to arrive.
I recently changed the timing belt in my wife's 1998 Acura Integra 1.8 GS, and I have a couple observations that might be helpful, and save you the couple weeks I lost.
1. I didn't have to disconnect the steering pump, just unbolted it and held it out of the way with a dowel against the fender which was protected by a towel. The cruise control too.
2. Lining up the timing marks was pretty tricky, but by setting it at TDC before taking off the belt and pulley, then putting drill bits in the holes at the tops of the cams to hold them at TDC helped a lot. Once I had lined up the crank timing mark (crank sprocket to oil pump housing) and threaded the timing belt in the proper order, I rocked the cam sprockets back and forth slightly with a 12 mm wrench to get the belt to slide on them.
3. It's just not worth it to try to get the crank pulley off with anything but the tool ($23 from Amazon) or a ridiculously powerful impact gun. I popped the chrome off a 1/2" extension by torqueing it. Wear safety glasses. It's not necessary to put a breaker bar on the tool too, there's a reinforced place at the edge of the fender that will catch it if you put a regular 1/2" drive ratchet on it.
4. Replacing the tensioner and the spring seems pretty important, as well as making sure that it is loose enough to adjust properly. Rotating the cam sprockets 3 teeth forward (CCW) allows the tensioner to take up the slack in the belt.
Excellent guide at team-integra.net
Good luck and reward yourself when you finish.
Customer Review: A must have
Summary: 5 Stars
Unless you own a 3/4" or larger impact tool, the only way to remove the bolt on the crankshaft pulley is this tool. A 6' tube over a breaker bar will do the rest while this toll holds the pulley in place. Could not have finished the job without it.Customer Review: A must have tool for Honda timing belt replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
Removing the Honda crankshaft pulley is practically impossible without a tool like this. A big impact wrench may get the bolt out but you need this tool to torque the bolt back on. This tool does its job well. It is very well made, heavy duty. This is the cheapest way to remove the pulley. Once you get that bolt out the timing belt replacement is not too bad.Customer Review: A must have tool if you plan on replacing the timing belt

If you dont have this tool, your wasting your time trying to get the crankshaft pulley bolt loose to get to the water pump and timing belt.
