The problem isn't your wimpy little ratchet but rather that trying to loosen the pulley bolt with your wimpy little ratchet doesn't do much more than spin the crank. Don't feel bad though, you'll get the same results with your friend's big, whopping ratchet. A number of methods have been concocted over the years to stop crank spin, none of which work all that great, like chain wrenches that usually end up marring the pulley to lodging scary objects in between the flywheel and bell housing. The solution lies with the guys who developed the pulley in the first place, and for a fraction of the cost of that new air compressor. honda's crankshaft pulley holder slips inside any '90 and newer honda pulley with a 50mm hex opening and fastens to most frames via a preexisting 8mm threaded hole. With the crank locked in place, even your wimpy little ratchet can get it to budge.



If it is the Accord, yeah, those crankbolts are a SOB to get out; really the hardest part of a timing belt R&R on an Accord. I believe the factory uses red loctite on them.

Most 1/2 impacts don't have enough balls to remove them. You definitely need the crank hold down tool (about $45) before you tackle this job. I have helped the removal by applying a small amount of heat to the face of the bolt with a plumpers type torch. I follow it up by using a 4ft piece of steel cheater pipe on a breaker bar while someone holds the hold down tool in place.

Had one that make a gunshot type sound when the bolt finally broke loose; sounded like someone shot a rifle in the shop....scared the crap out of everyone, they were ducking behind cars and tool boxes
