crank bolt left or right hand thread??
Someone once told me thre was only 1 or 2 reverse threads on hondas.
one of which is somewhere in the steering pump i think. but i have no idea. Crank should be standard thread. It's just a SOB to lock the pulley down and get enough leverage to break it.

you probably have to get some heat
to go some part store and use MPS gas they come in small bottles like for propane they use for the pumping but it is a yellow colour can or just use oxy and acle if you gots .. remeber heat it up then let it cool down on its own for like 15 mins then try it FunkyKev wrote: > Someone once told me thre was only 1 or 2 reverse threads on hondas. > one of which is somewhere in the steering pump i think. but i have no > idea.

Agreed on > the seals. Don't > heat anything up unless you want to wreck stuff. Right, bigger is often better but also not essential nor economical. A 1/2-inch drive set worked fine for my 91 Civic. The 3/4-inch drive set of tools will set a person back around $75 or more. (Two 8-inch long, 3/4-inch drive extensions by themselves will run over $50.) Plus, the only place that has a good stock of 3/4-inch drive tools is Sears. Harbor Freight, Pep Boys, Home Depot and the like do not carry much, if any, of this size drive. Of course, if one jumps up and down on the end of the breaker bar or its extension, as a certain person here is reported to have done, then all bets are off as to the safety of the tools, the crankshaft pulley, and the person. Use a long extension to get the torque with as little force as possible applied to the end. Lastly, arranging with one's favorite local mechanic to break the bolt free with an industrial strength impact wrench for the measly sum of say $15 is often the preferred quick fix here. |

[ordinary 1/2" sets >>flex too much.] > > > The long Craftsman 1/2" flex handle will do it. in terms of sheer force, sure. but it's much safer to go the 3/4" route. there's almost /no/ wind-up, so when the bolt lets go, it just unscrews rather than suddenly dissipating all that stored elastic energy from the tool in potentially destructive ways such as slipping, cracking, etc. sure, the tools cost a little more than just struggling with your existing tool set, but: 1. they're guaranteed to work. yes, a sears breaker bar is guaranteed in replacement in the event that it fails, but that's just the issue, it's not 100% certain to shift the bolt and it might fail. the 3/4" absolutely won't. trust me on that one. 2. the 3/4" stuff is still a good deal cheaper than buying air tools or even an electric impact wrench [that may hot have sufficient torque]. 3. once you have it, you'll be surprised how often you go back to it! > Agreed on the seals.
