96 Kia Sephia crankshaft pulley question
Recently my mount for the alternator broke off from the water pump
and now I am currently on task trying to save myself 350 dollars by changing the water pump myself. I already have the shop manual for this specific year. The book mentions that I must use a "crankshaft locking tool" or more specifically a "crankshaft holder" in order to remove the one large bolt holding down the crankshaft pulley. My question is......where can I find one? Ive found several versions for "Honda's and Toyata crankshaft pulley holders........ but none for "Kia's" Is there another solution to my problem? Will appreciate any help. E.T. |

96 Kia Sephia crankshaft pulley question
Well folks..since I have an automatic, I took some hints from several
older threads on somehow trying to brace the flywheel teeth. I noticed that there was a small access port on the bell housing (most likely put there in order to reach the flywheel to torque converter bolts) I noticed that turning the crankshaft and looking thru the small access port (bout 6inches wide) that there are small oval holes more like vents to help cool...(I assume) on the flywheel or backing plate. I used a prybar and stuck it thru the vent like hole and braced it on the bell housing, then I used and extension pipe on my breaker bar and the damm bolt loosened! Thanks for everyones help here. Hopefully this info will be of some good use to some poor sod searching for the same problem in these newsgroups. E.T. |
