im having trouble undoing the crank bolt from a block that is on an engine stand. there is no tranny or head on the block.
i have tried using a electric rattle gun which just spins the rotating assembly. what are some ways of holding the rotating assembly in place so it dosnt move?
i have tried holding the pulley with my hand but i still cant get it undone with the gun going full ball for about 30-40sec.
Put a closed spanner on the crank pulley bolt and with a hammer, hit it not so hard, but enough power to get it moving slowly. Thats how i did it, and it worked
Hope that helped
great thanks for the input, wouldnt that still move the crank??
if the flywheel/flex plate are there you can lock the crank on them
just invest in a proper tool for 50 bucks and do it
there is no fly wheel on the block. i have tried to chock it in other places but they dont seem to work well. what feels like im getting a better chance is holding the pulley with my hand
as na-118 said, heres an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...motiveQ5fTools
hey thanks shi-fty, ill be ordering one of them
using a piece of steel bar (25mmx2mm should do) lock the crank in position. Use a flywheel bolt on one end and a trans bolt hole on the other. know what I mean?
like this but with a longer piece of flat bar going to a flywheel bolt hole on the crank

awsome idea......but i dont have a flywheel for this engine.
that tool, can i still use a rattle gun?
You don't need a flywheel. Bolt it directly to the crank. will work exactly the same
im a noob on here but i recently rebuilt my d16a8 engine and i used a socket under the flywheel inside the engine beside the cylinder slowly turned the crank till the socket engaged the crank and locked up then undone it with a 1/2 inch breaker bar with a pipe on it
it was very tight and it worked a treat
hope that helps
well, considering how he said that there was no flywheel on the engine about 5 times, no, i dont think its going to help one bit.
it doesnt need to have a flywheel on the engine due to the socket being inside the engine between the crankshaft and the engine block
no damage to the crank?
nope no damage to crank shaft at all
oh damn i forgot to post the outcome of this shiz...
in the end i used the gun and good ol muscle power.
i used 2 flywheel bolts threaded opposite to one another, then used used a spanner to lock into place resting on one of the arms of the engine stand.
