Crank Pulley Removal Tool
Getting ready to do a timing belt on my 91 Integra Hatch and wanted to buy the tool for removing the crank bolt. I didn't want to waste time and money getting the wrong one when most of the descriptions only say "fits most Hondas and Acuras". Can anyone point me to the proper tool for my application?
Second minor question: without removing my valve cover to check first, are my valve adjusters 10 or 12mm for getting the proper tool to simplify that job.
Thanks,
Dave

I bought the tool a long time ago off amazon for $30, it was great! As far as the "fits more hondas" I've used my CSP holder for different various others hondas so i'm sure the one you want to buy will work for the teggy.
this is her:
However, i don't think it's two parts.. if you could find one where it can unscrew at the head, it's a little easier to get on.

Will you measure your CSP tool for me. I found one that gives the size of 50mm and I'll try to get some calipers inside my pulley to measure it. If you'll search for Powerbuilt 648796 on Amazon it says 50mm on it. Also saw a less likely Alltrade 648818 with 45mm.
Thanks,
Dave

I'm not sure what you want me to measure... the length of the hex head is 1.9 inches.
that's the crank head right there if you want to use a breaker bar + cheat bar on the end instead of the whole bar attached...
$25 vs $50 bucks.

What I was looking for was the outside diameter of the hex part of the tool, 45 vs. 50mm or some other size, although I do need to make sure the tool will reach deep enough into the pulley to engage. Thanks for helping.

I wouldn't spend money on anything. The 2 ways I've removed my crank pulley is to use an impact gun or have someone put the car in 5th(assuming its a stick) and have someone step on the brakes. Then I just hold on the the front toe hook and use my leg on a beaker bar.

1) Standing on brakes and + in gear + cheat bar
2) using a breaker bar and using the starter to knock it loose.
3) 3/4 impact gun
4) chain wrench + towl around the pulley and using a breaker, then trying to get it loose.
#4 to be sometimes is a little scary as i don't want to damage the pulley but 1-3 did not get my bolt loose (trust me, i gave it hell).
However, for a lot of people i've seen these methods work and for others like myself... had to get the CSP holder.

I implemented the following techniques on my crankshaft pulley when i did it back when:
1) Standing on brakes and + in gear + cheat bar
2) using a breaker bar and using the starter to knock it loose.
3) 3/4 impact gun
4) chain wrench + towl around the pulley and using a breaker, then trying to get it loose.

Also, when its in gear you want to in 5th so that the gear reduction isn't working with you.
