Hi how do you tighten the big crankshaft pulley bolt after youve done the cambelt and waterpump. I got the bolt off alright using the engine start method- using the torque from the engine to undo the bolt but now that everythings back together i'm unsure if the engines running safely as you cant tighten it ( the belt just goes around clockwise aswell, can somebody help?

The belt wrapped around the pulley method above works, do not use an impact gun on it.

in case you have the particular gadget that locks the Honda crank pulley then there's no reason you won't have the ability to eliminate the bolt with a a million/2 inchchronic breaker bar and a pipe cheater bar for greater useful leverage. As a final motel a breaker bar and cheater you ought to use the floor and the starter to crack the bolt loose. each and every now and then the 4 hundred lb. a million/2 inch I/R gun I even have won't wreck the bolt loose, a three/4 inch gun is then used that provides greater torque. good success and want this permits.

I squeeze two opposed runs of the belt together to give it more traction and prevent it from turning when I tightened those bolts. It takes some hand strength.
