Crank pulley holder - UK supplier?
I have a ring of holes crank pulley on my 93 civic so I'm looking for
a tool similar to the one on the right of the top picture here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/crank...ml#ringofholes . I'm in the UK and wondering where to get one from... Alternatively I could probably easily get hold of a universal thing like http://www.lasertools.co.uk/item.aspx?item=1527&cat=304 but it looks a bit weak and worried it might press against my pulley and break a lip of something... I could always make my own tool but want to avoid the hassle... Cheers! |

Thanks for the advice - I tried 5th gear and braking but there was too much play in it. Have now booked it into a local garage as I've been spending too much time on my car recently ;-) Then I managed to break the power steering pump adjusting bolt and a valve cover bolt...not critical but annoying... At least I know what to do for next time (in 5 years..wooo). |

At least I know what to do for next time (in > 5 years..wooo). you need to buy a torque wrench or three - no way should you be breaking bolts like this. likewise, sounds like having someone else do the work is the best option for you. |
