8Milelake Universal Pulley Holder Interchangeable Review

I bought this to remove the harmonic balancer and it has bent. Now it's useless. I ended up just hitting the starter and breaking the bolt. I've used these pulley holders in the past and had success, but not this time.

Almost the same as other similar tools but half the price and with a blue plastic box instead of a red one. The tool arrived quickly. It's very strong so I can't imagine anyone breaking it unless they used the smallest pins (i.e. misused).

A previous reviewer noted the fact that when replacing a fan clutch there is not enough room to put the pins in the holes. . This is correct but relatively easy to achieve if the holes on the tool and fan are aligned before the pins are inserted. I was very impressed with the quality and price and reduced my rating to 4 stars just because of the inconvenience of inserting the pens. With this knowledge I can only recommend it.

Two cam pulleys that just won't break. I used a cheat bar and this tool and ended up bending a corner of the tool. I tried again without the adjuster rod and instead of pulling straight I pulled on my breaker and clamped this pulley retainer tightly under the alternator pulley and finally removed the camshaft pulley. Great tool, I had to straighten that one corner but the steel is so strong I had a hard time getting it straight again; Great tool if you know how to use it!

I purchased this item hoping to get cam sprockets off my 2007 Toyota Highlander 3mz-fe but just couldn't get it to work for me. The tool was spinning heavily under load, but I was able to fix this issue. I just couldn't get enough torque on my brake rod to loosen the bolt, even with the pull rod. It was like over 92 ft-lbs of torque holding that bolt in place. This tool might work for you, read other comments/reviews for tips that might help you. Much luck.

I was scared at first but the pictures don't do it justice. Very strong and durable, good carrying case, just what I needed to get the job done. I needed to replace the gasket on the front output flange of my Hummer H3 transfer case, this tool held the flange in place so I could break 235 pounds of torque on the 30mm nut and then held the flange again while I retightened the nut. back to 235lb/ft. Of course, I didn't hold this holder in my hands when loosening/tightening, but applied the tool…
