Thank you. I found your video and built this tool. No bolt machining needed for my application but I can in the future if needed. Worked perfectly for my crankshaft pulley bolt! It now hangs on my wall!
I'm making up one of these now, gotta take a nasty balancer off my 3800 V6 engine. Excellent and easy design to make up, no welding just a couple of holes and some suitable bolts. Excellent idea!!!
Thanks for the video. I may be over thinking my situation, but I need to change a timing belt on a 2010 Dodge Charger 3.5L. Lots of videos and comments within them indicate people have had the cams "fall thru" once the timing marks were aligned and the t-belt was removed. If that doesn't occur, the cam marks slip during timing belt install. I'm not a machinist, but I think I might give a shot at making a gadget that keeps both of the cams locked down during timing belt installation.
No kidding I just did this for a buddy not to long ago, didn't have the right tool and we fought with clamps of different sizes and spacers for a while , and we did it while still in the car it's kinda able to bend outta the way a bit. We unfortunately don't have any footage I wish now I had filmed it. Thanks for watching!
