OK so I picked up a d16z6 to swap into my hatch, and am trying to change out all the belts before I drop it in. But how in the hell do I get the crank pulley off of this thing without the engine cranking? I wanted to get my new water pump and belts on before the weekend so I can go rafting and not worry about it when I get home, any help would be great. I have found a couple guides but they are all when the engine is installed in the car not when its out.

you need to stop the flywheel from turning and it should break lose with some elbow grease.

ya use a screw driver on the fly to keep it from spinning. that what i have done.

impact wrench on the pulley bolt.
+ PB Blaster

HUGE breaker bar, a screwdriver in the flywheel and/or an impact gun with some huge huevos

LoL. motor out the car guys. who is guna hold the flywheel??...

everyone should own the tool that bolts to where your trany bolts up and has teeth tooth to put against your flywheel .. having abrain fart so i dont remember what it is called .

not he best way but if ur not goin to use power steering ne more take a chain wrench and hold the pulley still like that then get a breaker bar with a long pole and get one person to hold the pully still defintly not the right way to do it but it worked for me

There is actually a tool made for this. it fits into the crank pulley and has a hole in it for a ratchet and socket to go through. it holds the pulley in place and lets you loosen the bolt. WORKS wonders. Moroso makes it as well as alot of other places.

Thanks I did pick up that tool like two weeks ago and did this. just needed that and two 1/2" drive breaker bars and it came right off. You can get that tool of Amazon for $25 saved the day
