Carbyne 50mm Crankshaft Crank Pulley Holder Tool, Honda & Acura Compatible

it work very well on my Acura ,

This is a well made tool. You'll need a 1/2" x 18" or 24" breaker bar to hold it. I use the Neiko 1/2" x 24". When changing the Honda timing belts with this tool you'll also need a good 19mm socket to go through the center of this tool. These bolts are VERY tough to get out, so I'm using the DeWalt 3/4" drive thick walled deep impact socket https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7F3Z73/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1It fits perfectly though this tool. You also need 20" + of extensions and a 24" breaker bar to get the bolt loose. I'm using the Neiko 3/4" drive impact extension kit (3 piece)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VAQNPA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1and the Neiko 3/4" x 24" breaker bar.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N54KUS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Most home mechanics just use the 1/2" drive versions, but I'm playing it safe. All the tools I've mentioned are compatible, work well in combination, seem well made, and good value.You'll invest over $100 in tools, but it is still cheaper than having a mechanic do the job for you, and you'll have the tools to keep at the end of it.A 4 feet long pipe over your 24" breaker bar makes the job a little easier.Watch the youtube videos on how to do the belt change and you'll be OK.

It was a nice quality piece. It does exactly the job it needs to do.However, our crank bolt was so tight we were in danger of breaking our breaker bars. The handles were just bending and things were not moving.So we switched to the Craftsman impact wrench. That didn't do it. Even with 125psi and a set of impact sockets.It was only after we tried the special heavy walled Lisle crank socket that the bolt broke loose. With the special Lisle socket there is very little give in it and every blow of the impact is transferred right to the nut.When it came time for things to go back together, this tool was good for holding the crank while we torqued the bolt back in to the proper setting.

In a world of tool interchangeability, this one lacks full communication between manufacturers. Machine parts to fit other follow on service parts from other manufacturers. End users may not have equipment to solve issues you create. I for one have the skills to finish processing this tool to work this application, remove Acura crank balancer bolt.

I wish all cars had a socket like this for installing the crank pulleys. Did a timing belt job on my 08' Ridgeline and this is the only way to keep the engine from turning when cranking down on the pulley bolt.Probably could be used for removal as well, but those bolts are so tight that it's much safer to use an impact wrench for that job.

Works great. There are cheaper options, and more expensive. This tool hits the middle with great quality and fit, and has a lifetime warranty. I have only used on one job so far, but I doubt I will need to try the warranty. The cheaper ones might have worked, but seen a few reviews of tool breakage. Played it safe, and got this one. Very happy and no complaints.

This is a good tool - I’m glad I got the Steel one and not the cheaper cast iron one that is also available. This worked but It was still nearly impossible to break the bolt loose. I think there is a Lisle hammer socket for this job that I will try if I ever have to do this job again.

Bought this for a timing belt job on our 99 Accord and could not get it to sit into the crank puller properly. Would not recommend this if you're working on an Accord of the same vintage.
