My M18 Milwaukee 1/2 impact with a regular 19mm impact socket wouldn’t budge that bolt. I ordered a weighted 19 mm socket off Amazon and it was delivered the next day. 45 seconds of heat from a torch and the weighted socket and it came off like butter.
I was able to use the tool he showed by renting it for free at autozone then using a 25" breaker bar reaching from the top of the engine going down with a short impact socket (normal sockets will break or round out). It's one hell of a push but it works to break it loose. Keep in mind I was able to go from the top of the engine bay because I already removed many parts to do the timing belt and water pump PS: My 630 ft/lbs impact would not do it....
Nice video. Watched several as I need to do it on a 2007 accord that slings oil everywhere because this seal is done. Clear instruction, good method using the belt to stabilize the wheel then a impact to pop then nut out, genius frankly
I can't believe this job is as easy as it looks. I know the crank bolt is probably the toughest part - I've done that before when I did a timing belt job on my 2006 Ridgeline. I have the special tool to hold the crank pulley. I had my wife holding it ....with two towels over her head and I used a 1/2" x 24" extension on a regular 19mm socket, 1/2" HF breaker bar and 4' of 1" cheater pipe to break the bolt loose. It sounded like a gunshot in the garage when it broke loose! I have a 2008 CR-V that appears to be leaking in this area. Is this a common issue on these mid-2000's K-24 engines? Thanks for the video!
The factory service manual for 07 Odyssey specifies 47 lb-ft plus 60° on the bolt. It doesn’t differentiate between new bolt or re-used bolt. It does specifically say not to use an impact to tighten, which makes me wonder how I’m going to apply that much torque in my driveway. There are 1,000 videos on getting that bolt off, but none that I’ve found on properly torquing it.
Until it is at least flush with the surface or look at the old one before you remove it to get an idea. Thanks for watching please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already
It seems like these crank bolts are a bit irregular. Some people can break them loose with a 1/2" impact and others need a long cheater bar. The one thing that I found out on my wife's 2005 Accord is that heat and penetrating oil are worthless. I used the crank holding tool and the weighted socket with my 3/4" Ingersoll Rand impact wrench AFTER the heat and penetrating oil with no luck. In the end, I used a 26" 3/4" drive breaker bar and a 12 ' piece of pipe. When it finally broke loose, there was absolutely no corrosion on the washer under the bolt head and no corrosion on the bolt threads. Since the torque spec that I found required the bolt to stretch, I bought a new bolt from the dealer and followed those instructions when tightening the bold after the repair.
Inspect it to make sure it's not cross threaded and use some air to clean out the hole. If the threads are ok you may need to order a new bolt. Thanks for watching please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already
This seal is in the timing belt area, correct? There is another seal of the same. but it is the *rear * main seal. The one in the video is the *front* main seal.
That socket is about 4 timed heavier with a much thicker wall than a regular deep well socket, therefore when an impact gun hammers at it that weighted socket transfer more energy to the bolt. Imagine using a 4oz hammer vs a 1lb hammer to drive a nail in a piece of lumber, you would have to produce more blows which would require more energy but if you use the 1lb hammer then you use less energy but "IDK". I was trained for thus stuff. Lol. Thanks for watching please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already

Lisle 77080 gang checking in. The high-mass socket makes a HUGE difference.

Very good. That bolt is tight in there. Needed a long breaker bar to get it loose.

Any idea if the keyway goes through to the timing gear? Mine seems too short, and Im afraid to shear it off.
It goes through the crank pulley
How do you know when the new seal is seated all the way in? Like how far is it supposed to go in?

One step you missed, apply some grease on the new oil seal lip and pulley journal, this would prevent pre-mature wear. on any lip seal.

Hello will be attempting this repair on my 08 Honda CRV EX / 4WD
Will it be pretty similar to the way you did the repair on this Accord?
Yes if it's front wheel drive it is similar. Thanks for watching please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already
Did you have to use the o-ring that came with the new seal?
What o-ring?

Becareful with applying heat, because it will cook the rubber in the Harmonic Balancer.
I removed the crank bolt without a problem but now I am having trouble putting it back in it will not go back in can you help me with this problem

Should I drain out the oil first before removing the seal?
No you don't have to because most of the oil is in the pan at the bottom. Thanks for watching please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already
What impact gun was that?
This seal is in the timing belt area, correct? There is another seal of the same. but it is the *rear * main seal. The one in the video is the *front* main seal.

Always grease the lips of a new seal where it contacts a shaft.

Damn that’s the easiest job ever.

There's a scientific explanation but I'm not gonna get into that ( other words for idk the explanation ) Good work tho as a mechanic
