so i looked up how to do it in th haynes manual, and it said to shove a screw driver into the flywheel and torque on the crank pulley....
i broke an extension socket, an 18 mm socket, and a half inch to 3/8's adapter trying to crack that nut....
after a whole day of getting nowhere, and having school... im just gonna have it towed and have it finished by a mechanic, and hopefully he will be able to wire up the vtec as well
im done
U sure the Haynes says to use a screwdriver in the flywheel? Mine specifically says to use a chain wrench...
I've done like 5 Timing belts on both B-series and D-series, and never had a problem...
Can't use 3/4 inch drive, use 1/2 inch...
