1jz crank pulley bolt removal

[daneyan]

has ne one in this forum ever done this?. do i need any speacial tools. i tried taking it off but i can't get the crank to stop spinning to use any torque. i need to get my crank pulley off because it split into 2 pieces about a week ago. i have another one already but i need to get the remainder of the pulley off. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe remove the starter & wedge a screw driver in the flywheel/starter gear (ala 7M method)?

I need to do this as well. But my engine is apart on a stand...

Even if its a 7m...

if your engine is apart, get a small block of wood (2x4) and wedge it between the block and a lobe on the crank. Then have some one stand on your engine stand, and get a breaker bar with a 3 foot cheater pipe. Good luck

If your engine is in the car, just use the starter to get it off, by wedging a long wrech against the ground and starting the car for like a milisecond, or you can put it in 4th or 3rd gear and get a long breaker bar, and make sure the e-break is up.

thanks guys i'll try that taking the starter off and wedging a long wrench in there.

get a chain wrench, its the easiest way i know.

 

[daneyan]

would the crank still spin while using the chain wrench, cause that's where my problem lies. or do i still need to jam it?

You still need to jam/keep the crnak from turning.

For a breaker bar, I've often used the handle from my floor jack (and the starter method). It's a two piece pipe which will fit over most rachets. I use one piece wich is around 2 feet long.

got it off. didn't have to take off the starter to jam ne thing. i just used a huge pipe wrench on the remainder of the pulley along with a piece of pipe and torqued the whole pulley the opposite direction while untightening the pulley bolt with a breaker bar and 7/8 socket and another piece of pipe on the breaker bar. it broke loose within seconds. Thanks for all the input

I put a new one on my car ( a dampened but lighter one for $4XX) and the wierdest thing is now happening... it revs a little quicker! Gotta love the 1j!!!!:icon_evil
