Removing Crank Pulley WITHOUT Special Tool
Вставка

- This is a quick trick on how to remove the stubborn crank pulley bolt without using the special tool. This was done on a Subaru Impreza while replacing a timing belt, but I have used this trick on many other applications also. I have done this on Honda and Toyota engine as long as you can find a good spot to hook on.
This should be the same engine /concept for other models also: Impreza wrx legacy outback forester crosstrek with the 2.5i EJ25 2.5L motor that Subaru put in everything.
Thanks for watching.
False title. This video shows a hack to remove the pulley bolt. It doesn't actually show how to remove the pulley unless you have a pulley that basically falls off on its own once the bolt is out. I'll be sending you an invoice for the time I wasted watching this.
The video is for Subarus, the pull is keyed.
With the bolt out you walk the pull out with two prybars till it's loose and then it literally pulls off
Yeah my pulley doesn't just come off by hand, which is why I'm here. You only removed the crankshaft bolt lol
In actually about to commit war crimes because of my pulley
@@jesserodriguez7526 I picked up a puller tool for about £17 and managed to get mine off, you should probably purchase one too
Waisted everyones time 🙄
I tried this and eventually I ended up ripping my belt in half
yea idk what kind of lame ass torque that bolt was tightened to but definitely not a 30+ year old bolt on my truck
this is a great way but the best I've found is to put a b breaker bar on the crank bolt against something hard and not movable and crank it for like half a second it will pop right off
This is literally a life saver. Thank you so much!
I imagine you need to be careful to avoid placing stress on the alternator shaft/bearing.
If crankshaft pulley bolt was that loose I feel scammed
I guess, this was only on camera.
But, it's a good idea.
I just use my rattle gun. Easy. Quick. But we did have the radiator out. For other work.
can't you just loosen it up with the belt on before removing it
Only works if the rubber material still has grip.
You are an absolute Treasure my friend I tried just about Everything to get leverage and nothing quite cut it but I tried this and it just comes Right loose thank you so so much friend.
Nice tip, will try it tomorrow!
Did it work?
@@writtenpieceopaper1
Nope, kept slipping. In the end I found just fitting a small socket extension through the crank pulley hole it wedged the pulley in place and I changed out the pulley
How about putting the pulley back on? any tips?
Your a legend mate. So easy.
Thank you sir video helped tons turned a few hour job into a few minutes lol
Glad it helped
Tried many ways not working but tried your way work perfectly. 2 thumbs up for your video.
Took a section of shelving, welded in two bolts and got a tool !
YEAH RIGHT!!
MY 4.0 H.B. IS STUCK TIGHTER THAN 8 IS TO NINE!
GO GET PULLER KIT FROM PARTS HOUSE,BOLTS ARE 1/4 INCH TOO DAMNED SHORT!
THIS IS GOTTA BE HOW JOEY BRIBES FEELS EVERY DAY!
I'm a hack, I just put the socket on the breaker bar, roll the crank until the breaker bar rests against the under body, tir the breaker bar down with a rag, put a pre cut piece of plywood between radiator and engine, then tap the key or bump switch "POOF!" Crank bolt is loose.
Worked great got me out of a pinch. Thanks again
I want to say your the best. It work perfect
Unless its a counterclockwise honda engine , you dont do this at all , the way to do it is jam a breaker bar with socket on end use the crank of engine to loosen bolt
I've tried that way a few times & found the starter usually doesn't have enough torque to break the bolt loose. Even with it hooked up to a 250a jump box on high, starters just don't produce that much torque. I've only had success using the starter if the crank bolt has already been broken loose before. Usually have to get a long breaker bar & heavy duty sockets, extensions, etc... to get her to break loose for the first time
Thank you very much! Your video saved me today. I tried different methods without succeeding and finally I used the one you present on this video.
Many thanks!

Glad it helped
Best trick ever!!! Thanks!!!
Worked like a charm! You are a real hero lol
wish you had shown this about 6 months ago, lol, good vid
i'm trying to get coolant pulley off..i have the 4 bolts out bult it is rusted to the hub of the pump....trying everything....and trying hard not to damage the pump as i'm after the camshaft sensor that is behind it
No the pulley doesn’t just come right off been trying for weeks
More NASA videos
Thank you! The belt started slipping but short quick pulls got it to break loose
Good to hear, that's how I had to do it to. Couple of fast tugs and it normally breaks it loose
Brilliant
Great tip. But how to you tighten it without stressing the installed cam belt, I.e. slipping a tooth and go out of timing?
As long as the tensioner is in place and the pin has been pulled it won't slip a tooth. The timing belt will not be affected by the reinstallation torque on the crank pulley
@@JohnCalebWarren do you torque the bolt on crank pulley the same with the belt on alternator?
Is this done so the timing won’t be messed with? I need to remove mine to change out oil seal.
WTF !! When did he take the pulley off?
Thanks allot we need more people like you!!!!
Dam, who would have thought of it. Thanks.
🧨🧨
goat status. came thru clutch
While you so smart thank you
Nice trick. I tried it, but my belt just slips around on the wheel :(
Spray it with carb clean to remove any oils, let it dry out & maybe apply some sort of fine grit to the belt. Ex: sheetrock dust or concrete powder. Make sure its really dry to help grip. That's what I would try
Thank you so much John for your video,it’s helping👍🤝
I love you.
Nice. Thanks!
Is it bad to put the tension on the other pulley, looks like it’s under a lot of stress ?
good point, I suppose it would be a good idea to buy a new pulley and belt ahead of time to have handy, better safe than sorry for $30.
Thank you
Fucking genius
That was good.
very nice
🤨
Nice vid.
Thank you so much!!!!! Just saved me $30 and 2 days waiting for a "crank bolt socket".....
that is a good trick
