Hi, You probably don't have it but the Milwaukee Gen 2 1000 ft lbs (fastening) - 1400 ft lbs (break away) would have been a little easier to take off that Honda bolt. Thanks for the video

With the power to remove lug nuts and such in such a small package. I use these smaller impact wrenches more so I can justify spending money on them. I hardly ever need to use the high torque models.

@@toolgearbandits7223 I totally agree. I don't use my Milwaukee High Impact Gen 2 that much but when i do it's awsome. I do like the milwaukee impact wrench 2755 and 2754. Also the Stubby.

It was awsome from the size, handle grip and light. The power was also great. I working on doing it again.
@@michaelc7283 I had a 2754 a while back but I couldn't get that thing to remove lug nuts torque to 130 ft/lbs so I return it. Might have gotten a bad batch. I converted my old brushed Milwaukee impact driver to 3/8" anvil and I still have it. I did the same with the M12 impact driver but it was too weak so I put it back to the way it was. I'm looking now to see if I can convert my Makita 1/2" anvil sub compact impact (the one featured on my earlier videos) wrench to a 3/8" anvil. It is too weak for most 1/2" size socket's bolt and nut.
I swear this is how my oil guy tightens my oil drain plug. I couldn't even get it open with my high torque 2863-20. Stripped all plug nuts and rounded up well. Had to take it to my oil guy and he used the hammer + screwdriver trick to get it open. Since then I switched to the Fumoto oil drain valve and changed the oil myself.
I had the pleasure of removing the crank bolt on a s2000. We had to use a 4ft cheater pipe on a 1/2" breaker bar. When it let loose the pipe almost went through the passenger side fender.
Wrong. No thread locker, just extreme tight. They're torqued to 69Nm with an additional 90 degrees. No thread locker, and anyone that puts thread locker on will regret it.
Just removed my crank bolt on honda hrv with d16 engine today , milwaukee miq torque 2gen with 12.0 battery. Did 15 sec backward run and after that another 10 sec backward was enought to remove it! with 4.0ah battery tool feels as half of power instead of 12.0
On my 2014 Accord V6, I tried everything you did, I purchased the largest Makita 1/2”, the pulley holder tool and still no luck. I seen where adding heat to it helps. I used my industrial heat Gun and heated the bolt to 300°. It came loose with the big socket and the Makita XWT08Z 18V LXT®... I think heat on the bolt is necessary.
This video is proof that air impacts are not obsolete. But if its not a honda crankshaft bolt then you can get away with almost anything auto motive with a normal impact wrench.
Excellent vid! Well done that Honda crank bolt is the king of tightness. The High Torque is a necessity for such tasks. I wonder how your average 1/2" air impact would work on that task, probably would not. You have a nice collection of cordless impact wrenches. I was wondering if the Rigid Octane impact was any more powerful than the Milwaukee M18 Mid Torque. I like the size of the Milwaukee Mid Torque, however it was not powerful enough to remove an over torqued axle nut on my Gen 3 Odyssey. I had to use an older Japan made 1/2 " Craftsman air impact to remove it.
Thanks. The Ridgid has about the same power as the Milwaukee but the Milwaukee is a little more compact. I was thinking with the help of the weighted crank bolt socket and the supposedly advancement of battery tech giving it more power (as least that's what they claim) that it will be able to break free the crank bolt. Very unfortunate that it can't.
I have a Milwaukee mid torque. It took off the axle nuts of my gen3 Odyssey easily but won't do anything to the crank bolt even with the Lisle heavy socket like you see in the video. My Husky 1/2 air impact (rated 650lb) busted it in literally 2~3 seconds with the Lisle socket. With that said, I use my Milwaukee for almost everything except for the crank bolt.
@@toolgearbandits7223 I've actually been looking for a video that does exactly what you did, with all the various setups you used. I might be in trouble.

@@slylockfox85 Don't fret it yet. Try it first with just the wheel off. Don't take the belts and etc off yet. If you really can't get the nut off then put the wheel back on. 1st try to use a lot of penetrating oil on the nut a day or 2 before you try to remove it If needed 2nd Find a local tire and wheel shop or repair shop and tell them you want them to help remove the nut. They will probably charge you $20 or so for it. After they break it loose and tighten it back up you will be easily be able to remove the nut again when you are back at home.
U can't say the rattle guns failed when u don't have the batteries fully charged. With electric impact wrench voltage is ur best friend. Charge that 8ah milwaukee battery to full and use the high torque milwaukee rattle gun with the weighted socket and they should get it undone

@@upnorth5465 Not true. That guy who uses his meter to test is measuring rotational torque of the motor (not impacts....or the graph would be up/down....not smooth).

Even succeded at 1435 ft lbs. That guy does not know what he is measuring. How the hammer system is set up also affects breaking ability. Two units can have the same rotational torque, but different results on a "real bolt" due to hammer design.
@@viperstrike3827 2767, I'm sure it would. I really don't think the 6.0 or 8.0 Ah batteries provide too much more power. Yet I get they provide some still.
Not sure which Milwaukee impact you are referring to. The mid torque only has 3 modes, and the high torque only has 2 modes. Both of which were used in their highest torque setting in this test video. All the torque wrench used in this video are set on the highest torque setting.
@@DownloaderVideo Mode 4 (on Milwaukee 2767) gives same power as on Mode 3. However on mode 4, as soon as it senses the bolt comes loose, it reduces speed to near 1/3 of original speed, so bolts do not go flying off. A wobbly socket can make nuts fly off and hit you in the face when working under a car. Speed 4 makes removing the bolt controllable. Mode 4 as you describe is completely wrong...read the manual (in mode 4 it impacts in forward and reverse...you obviously do not own one).
@@toolgearbandits7223 I dont think it was factory water pump fail an timing belt was about to fail if it wasn't for the pump going first but some get tighter at time
They seld a special socket for the crank poly bolt and trust me make a lot of different, more heavy your sockets are more power you will get and yes a mid torque impact wrench with that special socket will break free the crank bolt.
Milwaukee ½ or ¾ high torque impact will do pretty much everything. Even lug nuts bit the 12v platform will do that to a certain degree. If you need torque and use it daily. Get one of these guns and never look back with some deep sockets. I can help you find sockets and the guns
That’s pretty doubtful. I’ve removed them twice with the high torque and a regular socket but it was a fight. I usually get them with the high torque and weighted socket.
Is this a Honda typical problem, I bought the makita hi torque but thought it would smoke everything the car could throw at it, Maybe closer than I thought
Yes common problem. Just get the biggest gun you can afford for those crank pulley bolt. May help to spray penetrating oil on the bolt few days before you start the job.
Breaker bar and socket, rest the breaker bar aginst the subframe, use the ignition to bump the engine (quick on/off). The bolt will loosen with no problem at all. See this youtube video - Honda Crankshaft Bolt Removal - 100% Guaranteed!
That's what I bought last year. It took my Honda CRV crank bolt right off in a second without the Lisle socket. Well, I'm just keeping my Lisle anyways, just in case.
This dude just showed us a collection of lit battery impact wrench worth about 1K. Im buying a corded HB impact wrench with over 1050 ftlb torque. for 58.00 with coupon. Geez i want to head bang your coconuts together why you spend so much money for simple work.
WARNING dont use an impact wrench on a crank bolt. The impacts will dent the crankshaft bearings. This is an amateur move. Yes they are hard to remove iv done quite a few but iv never used an impact and im 5,9 140 so its not like im built and super strong. This test is BS anyway if you used the pulley holder tool its likely most of these wrenches would do the job just fine. According to this test id have to use a 5 ft cheater bar and put 200 lbs of force on it.

@@bobthompson4319 I don't doubt for a minute that you can do the job, but we know sometimes these crank bolts can take forever to get out. What do the guys at the dealership use? Call and find out, you'll be surprised. An air gun and good compressor make quick work of these. The electric versions are just more accessible for most people. You provided no evidence of bearing damage from impact tools, either anecdotal or documented. Just use common sense and don't round the bolt head. And for God's sake, man, what's that last sentence about?

Yes common problem. Just get the biggest gun you can afford for those crank pulley bolt. May help to spray penetrating oil on the bolt few days before you start the job.
Moral of the story buy a Toyota
Really? Toyota has the same issue
Breaker bar and socket, rest the breaker bar aginst the subframe, use the ignition to bump the engine (quick on/off). The bolt will loosen with no problem at all. See this youtube video - Honda Crankshaft Bolt Removal - 100% Guaranteed!
Should’ve tried a Dewalt 899.
That's what I bought last year. It took my Honda CRV crank bolt right off in a second without the Lisle socket. Well, I'm just keeping my Lisle anyways, just in case.
I changed out a Honda timing belt with nothing but a 6 inch adjustable wrench in the middle of Alaska in the winter....
kids these days
Spray penetrating oil on the bolt head. Impacts won’t work well when the socket sticks to the bolt head.
This dude just showed us a collection of lit battery impact wrench worth about 1K. Im buying a corded HB impact wrench with over 1050 ftlb torque. for 58.00 with coupon. Geez i want to head bang your coconuts together why you spend so much money for simple work.
Do all the Tools in reverse order and you'd had the same success
Sorry but lame try all of them get the rite socket and impact
Only Makita 👍
The AH of the battery won't make it more powerful it'll just last longer.🙄🙄🙄
In most cases the AH of the battery does make a great difference - See the Torque Test Chanel dyno tests!
WARNING dont use an impact wrench on a crank bolt. The impacts will dent the crankshaft bearings. This is an amateur move. Yes they are hard to remove iv done quite a few but iv never used an impact and im 5,9 140 so its not like im built and super strong. This test is BS anyway if you used the pulley holder tool its likely most of these wrenches would do the job just fine. According to this test id have to use a 5 ft cheater bar and put 200 lbs of force on it.
The part about damage to bearings is a myth. Imagine if Honda/Acura techs had to remove these with hand tools. 100k mile services would take all day.
@@GaryDelgado so why us it in EVERY service manual? And why would it not take all day? Well I'm 145 lbs and have done service to 250k mile cars. And never used an impact. So in short dont be a pu$$y.
@@bobthompson4319 I don't doubt for a minute that you can do the job, but we know sometimes these crank bolts can take forever to get out. What do the guys at the dealership use? Call and find out, you'll be surprised. An air gun and good compressor make quick work of these. The electric versions are just more accessible for most people. You provided no evidence of bearing damage from impact tools, either anecdotal or documented. Just use common sense and don't round the bolt head. And for God's sake, man, what's that last sentence about?
@@GaryDelgado Yeah he lost all credibility with that last sentence.
@@bobthompson4319
The service manual says not to use an impact when TIGHTENING the crank bolt. It doesn't say anything about removing it. I remove the bolt with an impact and tighten it by hand with the special tool designed for Hondas.
BATTERY IMPACT GUNS AINT WORTH A SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO REMOVING HONDA CRANK BOLTS I HAVE A TECHNIC I USE AND IT WORKS ALLTHE TIME GOOD LUCK GENTLE MEN KNOWLEDGE IS NOT GIVEN SO EASILY
IT'S CAPS LOCK GUY AGAIN!11!!11!!!! YEESH
