Nice walkthough. I did a DIY for accord v6's for V6P.net back when I had an accord. I have air tools now but when i didnt there is a trick to loosening the crank pulley bolt. If you have a 12-18 inch breaker bar you can lower the car without the front wheel on close enough to the ground that while the breaker bar is locked onto the bolt the breaker bar is wedged from going anywhere from contact with the ground. i hope that makes sense. The breaker bar should be at a 45 degree angle from tip on the ground to socket on the crank pulley bolt. The point of this is so the bolt cannot turn with the pulley. Then you would need to take out the fuel pump fuse. This will stop the engine from turning over. A simple turn of the key and rotation of the engine will loosen bolt. Everybody on V6p.net was using this little trick...there might actually be some pics on how to do it. Of course the pulley swap on accord v6's was much more beneficial.....the stock accord pulley was close to 10 pounds!!!

I just went to this local shop to see how much it would be to do, and i brought the right up with me.

they said any body could take pictures doesnt mean its true lol . what a joke

how do you have room to torque it down? i assume its around 230ft/lb maybe? w/o a lift you'll have maybe 2' clearance from the ground at best with jack stands, how do you get enough leverage on a torque wrench w/o very much room to swing it?

Here is an underdrive crank pulley for only $75! I love mine.

awsome! im very glad to hear that my write ups come in handy!


its been about 2 months going strong with my ZPI Crank Pulley and not 1 problem yet. still just like the day i installed it.

WOW!! thats some BS.
for anyone that is local and doesnt wanna pay to install it, i will offer my helping hand.
ya you heard me. ill help you install this thing if you are local and would like some help.

i actually started out using a hand torque wrench and it didnt work out...i noted that in my original post. its is SUPER SUPER hard to do it with hand tools without killing someone or damaging something. thats why you need a compressor and power tools.

i had it up on jack stands and it was pretty far off the ground.

A fellow scion owner did it for me cuz he owned a transmission shop. HE had that pully off in a couple secs. took about 20 25 min only cuz my belt fell off and it was hard to put back on .

--> That is a really good point 'maximus96'....
The rubber surrounding the crank pulley does absorb alot of vibration.. If the crank shaft does not have something to absorb vibration then you will see some crankshaft, seals, and bearing problems in the future...

They don't put a vibration damper on all cars just for looks !

--But if you are leasing your car... who cares ! lol

Could they just add rubber to the exterior off the pulley to prevent the vibration? It would still weigh a lot less.

Munch

Nope

Are there any lightweight pulleys that are like this?

Thanks alot for making this thread.. I might have seen your car around, I'm in cape coral.

I just ordered this pulley today.

I have one question, what do you torque the bolt on the crank pulley to?

yamaha16bw

I belive its 145 or 150 ftlbs. Check ZPI's site. Its on there.
