- BMW E90 320D Crank Pulley Removal & Replacement
In this video we attempt to removed a BMW 320D crank pulley with out the official BMW tool. Although it is not advisable, locking the crank the way we do in the video does work and if you don't have access to the BMW locking tool, it's actually not too bad of a job.
I did manage to get my on the stretch belt tool which is makes refitting the power steering belt much easier.

Thanks for the video. Wanted to make sure it wasn’t a daft reverse thread. Like others have said, I used a 3/4 impact gun (after removing the fan) for the bolt and then a set of molegrips lightly grips the P/S belt to the crank pulley and just wind the engine over with the crank bolt :)
You can also feed the belt back into itself and around the alternator and other pulleys save damaging the flex plate
Thank you very much for posting.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks for the demo mate
Great video mate!
Glad you enjoyed it
How is the replacement crank pulley working out? Is it nice and quiet ?
Have you had any issues with the cheaper pulley?
Hi mate I’m thinking about doing this to my car if the pully spins does it mess up the timing thank you
FYI the aircon compressors always sound like crap on these - I have one that has been doing it for ages and the AC is good as ever, same for another friend... I'd leave it until it dies...
Tell me if this Pulley make some noise after replacement.
Hey brotha let me know how those ebay turbos turn out. I purchased OEM TD03s from ebay, with like 60 sold, but the wastegates still rattle like oem turbos did. sometimes they do, sometimes they dont. On a hot day they will rattle all the time :(. Make sure you adjust your rods and maybe add a 8mm washer spacer in advance
That’s a bit crap about yours. I’m going to do an update on my car this week. I’m still fighting a few little issues. Mainly bizzare hpfp behaviour.
Have you ended up adjusting your wastegates yet?
👍
Can a bad crank pulley cause the timing chain to make a noise I’m sure a floppy pulley can slighting knock of timing?
Not sure if it could cause the chain to make noise if everything on the chain side was fine. But it could possibly cause damage to the chain guides and tensions.
Cheers... Right ive got this!
Can you turn the crankshaft pulley (with no belts on) without causing a timing issue? I just want to be sure before I try to replace it, that I won't throw the timing out..
You can, the drive belt doesnt have anything to to with timing. It is generally considered you should only turn it the way the engine turns over. So try no to turn it backwards.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thank you so much, I was worried that without any belts on if I turned the crankshaft that it might throw out timing, but from what you've said that isn't the case? So in reality you can turn it clockwise as much as you like and no issues will come of it? The only other thing is I don't have a torque wrench, so would you recommend just tightening it as much as I possibly can? I'm sure it won't fly off mid drive haha
@@ZeroTo60Tubebut at 11:00 i see you turn it backwards too are you not worried?
What size Allen key did you use? Thank you
22 mm
How's it going... Was this automatic or manual ? I have bought one with a broken crankshaft pulley but someone tried fixing it and broke the teeth from crankshaft pulley so there for can't use the special tool anymore. Any suggestions will be much appreciated on how to remove the crank pulley. Thanks in advance
This is auto. If the standard tool wont work, i would just lock the flywheel or flexplate. You are not supposed to to do it that way, but i know many that are done that way.
I have a question, is the E90 320D 2006 have a Woodruff key to maintain pulley ? If yes how to change it, because my pulley keep loose after 10 or 20 KM, my bolt have never been changed and the pulley have been changed thrice. last time i changed it i drove 80000 KM without problem, after a full service when put everything it started to loose ??? any idea guys
well I hope you found out that you need to replace the bolt also and properly torque it up with 120 degrees turn.
did the timing get messed-up by turning the crankshaft counter-clockwise?
No why?
THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM HE IS VERY LUCKY !!
good evening the crankshaft pulley is damaged is the power steering cross has come loose... is it possible to drive the car for 3 km to bring it back to my place, won't that be a problem?
You may get away with it. However it will be very hard to turn the wheel and the coolant is not circulating in the engine, so it will over heat very quickly. Might take a few seperate trips.
Where are u situated please advice I have similar problem like dat in my car
We’re in Australia. Brisbane.
Sorry mate, just another question, as I've bought the parts now except a torque wrench, is it really 320ft lbs?! Or NM? The most I can find is 250 - 300ft lbs torque wrenches! Other than that they're up £200 - £300 for the wrench 🙄
It's ft lbs. They are insanely tight. You are supposed to use one of those torqure wrenches that are like 1.5m long. I just do it as tight as i can with a breaker bar.
Why bmw does not design a better crankshaft dampler pulley, i would don't know as i have also replaced my e46 330d a few times🤦♂️
Did you replace with genuine or aftermarket ones?
@@ZeroTo60Tube i replaced with a reinforced aftermarket pulley, but I'll see if the reinforced pulley is stronger over time
Whew i cringed when you spun engine backwards. Im guessing with diesels models it doesn't throw off timing. Im still learning these foreign cars lol.
That is a genuine reason to cringe i dont blame you, but normally only an issue if you rotate it backwards and then remove or refit something in the timing system, while the chains are not properly tensioned. It used to be a big issue on cars with distributors for catching people out.
The bolt removes with an impact wrench... Torquing it is the hard part. No really possible to lock the engine as it will be too much torque and damage the crankshaft
Hii Georege first to say that you have good chanel..Second I'm torque angle with impact wrench just mark on bolt and and block that i now how much twist/moved bolt..
If you feed the belt back round the into itself around the alternator and a few pulleys you can get over 300nm of torque
it's so terrible on M57 (E60). People put E39 M57 pulley instead.
Do you know what makes them different by any chance?
@@ZeroTo60Tube I think E39 one is a solid metal piece that cannot brake.
Dominykas Dainys no, e39 has the same pulley
Decent impact gun and it’s off in 10 minutes and straight back on with the replacement pully and bolt also using the impact gun that bolt won’t move
NEVER TURN THE ENGINE BACKWARDS !!!!!
Abuse Amazon, buy/return the £40 tool, and save yourself having to replace thousands after bending your crankshaft that is only rated Max 280NM; Rating on the bolt that's SINGLE use is 410NM. Reverse cranking your shaft could very easily make your timing skip a tooth as it's not made to go that way. Bet that false economy pulley will need replacing again very soon and you'll have to get a OEM product.
It’s a terrible design fault I think. It’s inevitable that the rubber will break apart over time with the heat from the engine crank shaft, it’s just that BMW tend to use far more rubber than many other car manufacturers
The ac compressor clutches tend to make noises and eventually give up at around 160k miles, that goes with most ac pumps if they’re set as ‘ON’ as default. Just a tip for anyone - if you get a used pump, make sure it’s from a lower mileage car
This cheap pulley will fail again pretty soon
