Some of us dont have access to a 3/4" gun or a compressor though.
Now i have it off i need access to a tension wrench to reinstall mine now.
Never had a drama getting Honda crank bolts off with my 1/2" drive gun using the method i described.Quote:

i jus used a impact gun or wateva, came off straight away.
If it came off that easily its probably been off before?Quote:

I detailed my car, inside, outside and under the hood today, and had a look at the bolt - it even looks like a prick to remove....
You can't get a rattle gun to the pulley bolt on the S2k. There's a crossmember in the way.
And some have estimated 500ftlbs of torque required to undo it so 'in gear and brakes on' ain't gunna do it either.
You need one of these:

It arrests the pulley and crank while you put a 19mm socket, breaker bar and extension pipe on the bolt and pull with all your might.
home MIY (make it yourself) job?
Yup. Just used a 50mm nut from a hydraulic coupling and a piece of steel I had lying around.
Welded it up in my basement. ;)
The joys of living at home. ;)
or you could just buy a special tool :D
I bought that special tool too. Turned up three months after I installed my SC.
this is one bolt ive never had the pleasure of undoing.. Id sure like a go though!!
