no actually your a fucking retard.... its not like theres a forum called www.hondatech.com that has this covered many times over. yet you chose to come onto VaD and ask a stupid question instead of googling it. Thus saving you from making a pointless thread.


I also willing to bet that you are th type of person to go out and buy this tool for taking honda crank pulleys off instead of just using a serpentine belt looped over the motor mount and crank pulley, then w/ a breaker bar. break that pita bolt loose. but hell now i'm a nissan owner, wtf would i know about having an ls/vtec DA6 boosted, all motor or on a bottle....

I'm not entirely sure how something like that would happen, unless there was a serious problem when you bought it, or you seriously flogged it once after you got it running.

A timing belt doesn't jump position for no reason...

Just for the sake of argument, why are you criticizing someone for using a proper purpose-made tool instead of looping a serp belt over an engine mount and tying it in a knot around the crank pulley or whatever (I can't actually visualize how that works)...?

Seriously, which of those sounds more ghetto and worthy of criticizm?

you dont have to go buy the belt yo. thus saving yourself money to put else where into your car. its that simple.

ask leroy he saw me do it in front of the house. believe it or not is was easier to do as well. no air tools just human power.

But bashing on someone just for buying a proper tool, just because you have your make-shift way of doing it doesn't make it wrong.

Yeah, I usually use my hands on my oil filters instead of breaking out my oil filter wrench... but I still own one. And, I do use it when need be.

lol bashing on em for a tool? no i was bashing on em for making a stupid thread w. out using goolge. matter fact scroll back up and click that honda-tech link. wheres it go?


the tool thing was me being an asshole while giving someone the knowledge on how to get a pulley off. say for argument sake your at the junk yard and happen to stumble upon an under drive pulley. You don't have that tool in your magical sack. what do you think the chances are going to be that its still going to be there if you go home get the tool and come back.

sometimes you all need to think why is any member being a prick before you all try to defend your internet butt buddies.


your not tying it in a knot... think about how a strap wrench works... then think about just the use of the motor mount, the crank pulley and a belt.

I agree with you in that specific junkyard scenario, do what you have to do to get the job done. But, I don't agree with you saying "I bet you're the type of person to go out and buy a proper tool". That's just idiotic. And in no way am I being condecending towards you or bashing you, just stating my opinion.

I added the knot because I figured your ghetto way needed a little ghetto embellishment. I think whatever the method is, tying a knot in the belt definitely sounds like it would make it work better. Tying knots in things always helps you know.

Does that picture show a pry bar between the belt and the pulley or is that part of the belt folded over itself? Those awesome pics aren't really helping my understanding of this awesome ghetto procedure. Needs more ghetto documentation.

I still haven't changed my mind, I think that's a pretty ghetto way to work on an engine.


I'm going to stick to my previous statement: Why are you criticizing someone for using a proper tool?

way i see it if a belt always works then theres no point in buying that tool. like i said before i was being an asshole and things aren't going to change. just tired of repetitive topics how do i do this how do i do that? no one seems to take the initiative to sit down and google a question anymore, seems they want it served to em.



quoting my programing instructor "your logic is wrong"

theres was no pry bar used at all when we changed the timing belt. but lets just say that you wanted to use a pry bar. another way to do that is to pull the starter. apply pressure against the flywheel and pressure plate. thus keeping the crank from spinning. but this normally take two ppl.

the pics show just using a belt folded on top of itself. again like mentioned before just like a strap wrench. sorry if you can't see how its done. just a fact theres 3 or more ways to sit there and pull a crank pulley off, depending on vehicle. think outside the box much?

why does it seem you are getting butt hurt?
