Im trying to loosen the pulley bolt to do a timing belt change on my accord v6 . I've wedged the flywheel with a screw driver , slap on a breaker bar , and an extension pipe on top of that. That shiiiiot wont even bother to turn.Is the thread for the bolt backwards? I dont want to spend money on an impact wrench or taking it to some lousey mechanic. Any suggestions?

 

If you can't get it off with the breaker bar then go to a mechanic and just give him like $10 to break it loose for you. Then just tighten it enough for you to get home and do the t-belt change yourself.

 

i know what your going through man and it sux... but luckily my dad has mad tools and i am able to use a 1inch impact. i know most peeps arent as lucky as i am but what kj says would probably be your best bet cuz i dont think you wanna go buy a 1inch impact just for one nut and i know they arent cheap

 

what is the name of the tool called that does this. Just curious it sounds like a must have for people who do there own work. I have a little imapct driver, is that the same. I use it to remove my rotors.

 

no the little impact probably wouldnt work cuz like i said i use 1 inch impact and that thing is huge its what my dad uses to work on the semi's at work its a little bit of a over kill but hey its the only thing at the time that could get the job done
