95 Odyssey Crank pulley bolt direction
I need to remove a crank pulley for a timing belt replacement. I hit it with
some penetrating oil tonight and went home for the night. Tomorrow when I hit it with the impact gun, which direction will LOOSEN the bolt? It's the 2.2L 4 cyl. |

And penetrating oil will do you zero good.

Re: 95 Odyssey Crank pulley bolt direction
Good luck, they are bitchin tight. I ended up taking mine to a shop
where they used their big bertha air ratchet to loosen it, and then snugged it up so I could drive home and do the job. It took a Chicago Pneumatic humungous ratchet about the size of a jackhammer to loosen this bolt. Tried a number of other tools, to no avail. t On Jan 15, 5:56 pm, "Road Rage" <kac...@mindspring.com> wrote: > I need to remove a crank pulley for a timing belt replacement.

Re: 95 Odyssey Crank pulley bolt direction
Since the torque spec is 250 pounds if I remember right You need big tools.
You also need to torque it back unless you want it flying off someday on the road. You should also have the OEM service manual. For a lot of information and real life instructions see the forum at www.odyclub.com.

The torque spec is 180 pounds. You should be able to break it loose. The problem you will run into is when you try to get the timing cover out past the suspension part that blocks the space underneath. We ended up removing it as well. btw. You are not supposed to tighten it back when you are done using the impact wrench. For that you need the immobilizer tool and a big torque wrench. |

It would be interesting to know what the breakaway torque actually is, but I would bet it is more than 400 ft-lbs. Mike |

We were able to loosen it by hand using an impact socket, impact extension and a 4 ft piece of gas pipe on the breaker bar with a jack stand for a fulcrum and another breaker bar securing the immobilizer against the ground. It twisted the 12 inch extension a full 90 degrees then popped loose with a bang (make sure your extension is hardened). |

That's embedment. that's just waffle terminology. real deal is asperity welding, wear, etc. and it doesn't address potential for tightening as components are subject to rotation with crank acceleration/deceleration. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38636024@N00/2911225312/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/38636024@N00/2911225310/ |

A properly tightened fastener does not rotate after final tightening. If there is relative motion, the fastener will come loose or snap, depending on the nature of the motion. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

[tightness means there /is/ a reason the trade uses honking great 3/4" or even 1" impact drivers for wheel changes you know...] |
