Reviews Needed this to change the timing belt, etc. on my 98 V6 Accord. Definitely worth the investment and great time saver. Worked as it should. Definitely worth hanging on to if you plan on owning & maintaining a few Hondas/Accuras. Don't be fooled by what you see or hear on the net about removing that Honda pulley. You WILL need this tool. NAPA had to order it but the warehouse was out. Autozone looked at me like I was talking jibberish. Checker showed it as a loan tool but no stores had ever actually had one at all and they wanted over 50 bucks to order it. For the average home mechanic there is no other way. Your 150psi Craftsman compressor wont touch it. Forget WD40 cause it wont reach the threads where the problem is. Use a torch and risk damage to your seal. The starter bump method wont work on most Honda engines that use this tool because they rotate the opposite way. And a pulley wrench that wraps around the pulley could cause the dampening material inside the pulley to slip making it useless and you will need to buy a new pulley. Only very high-power impact guns usually at automotive shops will zip it off. Make sure you have 2 breaker bars (NOT A RATCHET that can jump teeth) and a friend to help hold one. Use only 1/2inch size tools at least. This tool does not fit very snug or deep so a friend is essential to keep it in place while you break it loose. The bolt is NOT REVERSE THREADED, so don't make the mistake of making it tighter. Use the shortest socket extension possible to minimize flex on your tools. I tried 2 and got over 6 inches of flex before I ran out of room. Using some kind of pipe for a handle extension is OK. Just make sure its strong you have enough room under the car. I used my handle from my 3ton floor jack, and placed it on the handle of the breaker attached to the tool. 4 stars because it fits loose and needs to be held in place. Could be redesigned. Good Luck. this is a useless piece of crap, almost impossible to use under a car. It does fit the hex but u need a cheater and something to hold it still. Get a really heavy 19mm impact socket and a 3/4 to 1" drive impact gun and it'll come loose. I'm glad i didn't spend much on this thing I used this tool to no avail. There were two of us. One holding the Crankcase pulley removal Tool and another trying to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt. Due to the sloppy fit of the Crankcase pulley removal tool, it slipped and chipped my crankshaft pulley. Cost me an additional $95 + $20 shipping for a used Cranshaft Pulley. The crankcase pulley tool would not work on the Honda that I was working on because the pulley design on the car was different than what the tool was intended for. I had to return it so I do not have an opinion.
