Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2005Crankshaft pulley bolt on Hondas
Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy or borrow one of the 50mm hex socket wrenches needed to remove the crankshaft pulley on my CRV? I want to replace the timing belt. These tools appear to be like hens-teeth to find. Thanks... >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >I want to replace the timing belt.

A 1 &15/16 inch might fit well. needs to fit internally, not externally, so a normal socket won't do it. >>>Does anyone know where I can buy or borrow one of the 50mm hex socket >>>wrenches needed to remove the crankshaft pulley on my CRV?

Here's a description from the newsgroup FAQ of a homemade one: "A list denizen who signs himself "jamieson" offered this suggestion- "I did manage to find a nice way to prevent the pulley from turning. The local hardware store sells a 1 1/2" threaded plumbing adapter with a hex flange on one side of it. With a little bit of filing, the hex flange fits into the 50mm hex depression in the crankshaft pulley. Then I took a pipe wrench and cranked it down on the plumbing adapter threads sticking out of the crankshaft pulley. It works just like the Honda crankshaft pulley holder tool, only costs a lot less." http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#crankbolt > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks... ----------------- NoName, You can whip one up yourself with a plumbing nipple and a piece of steel bar. I'll send you a picture. Plumbing part is described as a 2" pipe fitting, like you use to fit a well water hose onto a large tap. Grind all 6 faces so it will fit, then weld onto steel bar. Got the idea from Chilton's manual #30300 page 3-22 (honda dealer) 'Curly' >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Grind all 6 faces so it will fit, then weld onto steel bar.

Some time ago this guy called "jamieson" described such a thing, but it's difficult to understand from the text. A picture sure would be nice. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#crankbolt  SignatureTeGGeR?

None of the local dealers would order one for me either. I had to improvise to get the nut off. -------------- Alex Thank you all for your suggestions on this tool - I much appreciate it!!
