need some air tools help
hey everyone...
i posted about a month ago about a mount that broke and pretty much ended up damaging my t-belt.
well, ive had a shortage of available time, but i have got the mount replaced. the issue du jour right now is the timing belt.
i'd really like to save the $$ if i can and do the belt myself, but i lack the tools to remove a certain crank pulley bolt.
i was wondering if anyone could help me out by bringing some air tools my way so i can get that bolt off to change the belt.
i'll pay for your fuel coming out this way (i can't do it too soon because i have to get the belt and the tensioner pulley first).
just as a note: there are no nearby outlets, so an electric compressor probably wouldn't work.

I dont know of any portable tanks that are going to hold enough pressure to get that bolt off with an impact. My impact gun sucks ass and wouldnt get it off. sorry free bump for you

take off your fly wheel cover and stick a big screw driver in there to hold it in place then take off the nut, you don't need air tools not to mention you would need a big air gun to get that off like a 700 lb + impact gun i know my 500 lbs one didn't take it off. or you could do some backyard mechanics and throw on a breaker bar and turn over your engine a few times, that will get it off.

honda = CCW turning engine = bumping the starter will TIGHTEN the crank pulley bolt.
i can't really use anything BUT an impact wrench. i wouldn't be able to get enough leverage on a breaker bar cause i don't have enough "extension" to get the bar out of the wheel well, and in that scenario the torsional force would probably just snap an extension. ultimately it leads back to the idea that i don't have an extension long enough
