troyellenburg Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hey, i've been working on my 1988 honda accord lx-i with a blown head gasket. I have run into a stump, i cannot get the harmonic balancer off and trying to have broken a piece of the metal off. A 400 ft lbs impact will not take the olt off aND i would still need a tool anyways to get a new one back on. My question is: Where can i find a tool for my honda accord? I have looked online and only found tools for a 1990 honda accord, will it work on mine or where can i get one/make one or what?? and im finding it hard to find a cheap harmonic balancer too, so if anyone knows where i can find one id greatly appriciate it. Thanks, Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 first we need to know which style of harmonic balancer you have, there are 2 styles. 1 has a bunch of holes in it and the other has a hex shape in it. is it an auto or manual? find a new pulley on ebay or a junkyard.

Raley Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 oh, that ones way more crazy than regular. i dunno if there is even a tool for that. you can usually use 2 screw drivers with a bar holding them in place, then snaking a socket inbetween and then you jump on the breaker bar.

troyellenburg Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 i cant do that because the bolt is in the center and i cant get a socket there, unless you had some way to get around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 you clearly don't get mechanics... take it to a shop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyellenburg Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 i bent a 3 foot metal bar trying to gt it off....its not that i dont get mechanics, its that...well im not really sure. its as if someone put jb weld on the bolt before putting it back on. i put my body weight on the bar and did pull ups...is it possible i can just drop a 92 engine into it, both are FI, if the mechanic cant get it off, im taking it to one sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyellenburg Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 how much do you think a shop would charge me just to take the bolt off? i live in missouri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Depending on the shop, free to like 60. A 92 motor is obd1, so either swapping sensors or wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyellenburg Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 okay sweet, i might be getting an engine and tranny 5speed from someone from a 91 for 200$, and i also got a buddy who has a huge air tank and a 1000ft lb+ impact. hopefully that works, ill post here if it does.
