Amazon.com: Powerbuilt 648796 Honda Crankcase Pulley Removal Tool: Home Improvement

 

i have a chain wrench you can use. it is what i use when doing them i just don't clamp it down real tight and put marks in the pully.

 

I also bought this, works great. I never thought it would be so easy to remove the pulley bolt by myself. And I'm not a strong guy.

This should also work, but I would use an old belt between the chain and the pulley. The first pulley I had to remove, my stepdad brought over a strap wrench (sort of a fabric) and we had to use one of the old belts to get a better grip on the pulley. That was before I bought that tool though.

 

i appriciated everyones help.

just for anyones future referance, although there is a universal tool that removes honda crank pulleys, it does not work on the acura vigor. the vigor has a specific tool that only dealers carry for the removal of the crank pulley.

i am going to try the chain wrench method. im gonna use the old belt and then wrap a towel around the the pulley to further protect it. hopefully this works.

 

i had this old ass subaru that i was fixing for a friend, and i couldnt get that damn pulley off and wasnt about to spend the money on the tool, nor was he. so i drilled 2 10mm bolt-sized holes in the pulley at opposite ends and ran two bolts into it and wedged a pry bar in-between them so it locked it in place, and that worked great.

never f-ed with a vigor pulley so idk if thats of any help. just figured id throw it out there.

 

jus put car in gear have someone sit in car pushin like hell on the brakes an ya should be able to get bolt loose..
