Lisle 77080 Harmonic Balancer Socket Review

. Buy NOW. 2011 Honda Odyssey 105k, connecting rod bolt would not budge. I had a holding tool and was trying to break the tie rods that broke the 1/2 inch extension. It was the first bolt my 1/2 cobalt electroshock didn't rip out. Borrowed 3 different Air 1/2 drums, which would also not work with a normal 19 mm drum head.

OMG. This thing saved my timing belt change experience on my 2003 Acura MDX. I couldn't get the crankshaft pulley bolt loose with a 24" breaker and crank retainer (see photo how I tripped over something) but this thing is fitted with a DEWALT DCF899P1 20V MAX XR 1/2 high torque brushless motor .

This isn't my first case. Removing the Honda crankshaft bolt and this has always been a nightmare. I've done everything from the absurd length of the…

Situation: 1998 Civic 1.6L. Needed a new crankshaft position sensor but had to remove the crankshaft pulley. The bolt was too tight. Task: The bolt had to be loosened become but stubborn Action: I have impact sockets and a fairly old Craftsman impact wrench model 875.199870 That wasn't enough Probably tried ten or fifteen times with the correct 50mm tool to hold the pulley still Action other than actually twisting the Extensions. Like a giant spring but it didn't break. I was afraid I would…
