im changing my timing belt but cant get the crankshaft to lock down. I read of a thread that you just have to put the car in 5th gear and have someone press on the brake and that will lock the crankshaft so i can remove the pulley. but its not working. Is there another way of doing this, also its not coming off with a impact gun.

 

PB Buster=WIN

 

yeah i tried that

 

Yeah putting it in gear should work..but really you should be using the pulley tool that is meant for this.

 

i was just going by this thread. Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement on a G3 Teg - Team Integra

 

the only pulley tool i kno if the one that is used to actually pull the pulley off. I need to take the bolt off 1st

 

GOOD Impact gun ?

 

my brother taught me a trick bout using a nylon rope and taking a spark plug out. so that the piston doesn't come up all the way. It worked. so thnk for the help

 

I have always used a flat head holding the flywheel in and a breaker bar with the jack handle for leveage to get them off

 

yeah that works, but the engine is still in the car
