i am trying to get the crank pulley nut off and having a hard time doing it. i tried the breaker bar and impact wrench approach and it did not budge. anybody have a new idea? also is the nut counter threaded, in other words not lefty loose righty tighty. thanks for any help. if somebody would like to help with a waterpump removal let me know.

spray it with a crapload of pb blaster and let it soak overnight and try again....you may just need a more powerful impact wrench

I really dont know what engine your trying to do this to.My old zc motor was loosen to the right,tighten to the left.Which way does the engine rotate?

Unless you have a decent size/hp compressor and a nice impact gun you'll need a breaker bar and a friend. Have your friend hold on the brakes and just take your breaker bar and knock the nut loose (counter clockwise). She'll come off..

The correct tool is a moroso or honda crank pulley tool.
It is a 52mm tool which holds the crank pulley in place.
You use it along with a breaker bar.

the engine is a d16z6. does anybody rent the 52mm crank pulley tool? thanks for the advice.

get a reverse thread drill bit and drill a deep hole in the bolt than use a easy out and a drill in reverse to dack the remains of the bolt out, works everytime and quick and easy
