Removal of the crank bolt made easy! Mechanic Life Hack, removing or loosening a stuck seized or thread used with thread loving sealant.
Confirmed from several sources that the 22mm bolt retaining the Harmonic Balancer has a Torque setting of 330nm/243ft/lbs.
As the car is Auto you cannot simply place in gear - and hang off a breaker bar with 2m of pipe - you either have to lock the harmonic balancer using a tool (which i made to reinstall), remove the starter motor and lock the ring gear or use the drive belt as i have used here. the RE INSTALLATION PROCESS is in the following link:

No shit! I've been a mechanic for 14 years and never even seen this technique. I found this video while also fighting with a JZ crank bolt. It was that tight that I was sure this would tear the front off the water pump. But sure enough it worked!

I hope you see my comment. After hours of blood sweat tears, and efforts that could have potentially damaged my engine, your method work and I took a total of 15 mins to get the old balance off, and the new on. I can't thank you enough!!!! (2009 Merc E350)

@ThatCarChannelOfficial 5 лет назад

That is awesome news! You are most welcome, thank you for your support.

@StasMan1982 10 месяцев назад

Thank ya Jeebas I found you! Tried stuff and bent stuff. I had most of the front components already removed to begin taking off the front cover. The video I watched on my truck, the guy easily used his impact gun and it came right off. Not for me. Long story short, used your method of tucking in the extra belt with only a few pulleys to work with, and then a 3"x3' section of steel fence pipe as a cheater bar with a breaker bar and socket. Only a few turns and it cracked and then spun out! I even tried using the cam lock tool to try holding everything. Almost worked but crank still tried to rotate. Hopefully I didn't mess up my harmonic balancer's current alignment like someone below pointed out. At least bolt is out and I'm continuing on! Much Love!!!

@MyLifeThai371 Год назад

I just broke the crankshaft pulley bolt loose on my 2008 Honda Fit! I used a "3:1 Torque Multiplier ($257 new on Amazon)" and the crank pulley holding tool ($13). I ran a bunch of 1/2" extensions out from the multiplier and rested them on a jack stand and used a breaker bar with a 4 ft. cheater pipe on it and it broke loose. Even though the torque multiplier is rated for 1100 ft/lbs, I still had to put out on that cheater pipe. My 450 ft/lb. electric impact with the special crankshaft 19mm socket from Honda was not enough to break it loose.

What size breaker bar did you use? My 24" 1/2" looks like it's going to break. I just ordered a 3/4" 40" I'm hoping will hold up. Over 350nm didn't break it lose.

@kikelara88 6 лет назад

What about to put it back on if you don't have a air compressor?

@ThatCarChannelOfficial 6 лет назад

I put it back on without any rattle gun or air compressor, BUT it needs to be 240lb/ft tight.. so I made up a tool to bolt to the pulley. You can buy tools to bolt on and hold still whilst you torque the bolt.

@freemanfornow264 Год назад

It works.... BUT..... VERY IMPORTANT...... I did this but when I went to put balancer back on, the timing mark was off by about 15°, meaning the outer hub had slipped..... Had to have been from doing this to remove it, as it was moved in the direction that would coincide with removal..... Be careful if you do it, as now I must replace my harmonic balancer

@miami1393 4 года назад

Nowadays, if you have an impact, buy a $27 harmonic balancer socket from Lysle, it comes off like butter in under 10 secs

@ThatCarChannelOfficial 4 года назад

Miami13 there is a number of reasons for this - access - there was only limited room at the front of the engine, I could have used a 3/4 or 1” impact wrench, but I would have had to degas the AC, remove the condenser, remove front bumper and intercooler also.

@DarianWallace 6 лет назад

U didn't have an impact wrench? I'm definitely going to try this

@ThatCarChannelOfficial 6 лет назад

yes, i had an impact wrench, an 18v Hitachi that does about 250nm.. i couldn't use anything bigger, as that would involve me taking out the A/C condensor/de-gassing the system, removing the front bar, intercooler etc etc.. i had the radiator out obviously but there is only so much room there up front :) the torque setting for the bolt is 330nm/243lb/ft - the 250nm rattle gun had little to no chance! the other thing - the car is auto, so simply leaving it in gear and hanging off it with 2M of pipe on a breaker bar was not an option (without removing the startermotor and fitting a ring-gear chock) to re-tighten the new setup i made a brace that held the pulley so that i was able to use a 3/4" torque wrench which is in this video here :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HZDCTfq3_w0.html

@DarianWallace 6 лет назад

That Car Channel did u have enough space for a pneumatic impact wrench? The method u show is simple enough for anyone without pneumatic tools though. I've been dreading removing mine until now lol
