Civic rebuild

[chewie]

either your a sissy or somethings wrong .. all the fwd cars ive done clutch jobs and trans swaps in not a one has fought me while trying to pop the axels out of the trans housing..

a really large flathead screwdriver wedged in between and a good grunt and they always popped out.

cool you got your motor out though

me and wL<3bass got the axle out, he beat that bitch with a hammer while i pryed. tough son of a bitch lol drivers side came right out though

the trouble is now, im replacing the TB and WP on the new motor, but first the crankshaft pulley needs to come off. and the only way to do this is very carefully. wilson broke my damn 17mm half inch socket trying to get it off and i crushed my damn hand. i'll post pictures of the aftermath of the socket and my thumb here in a minute.. so penetrating fluid is on there right now soaking in and im gonna take the motor down to my friends tomorrow and try to get that bitch broken loose so i can get this motor in the car, crank pulley bolt is the only thing holding me back from putting the new motor back in.

edit: crank pulley "bolt"

heres my thumb, got caught between the pressure plate and the block. didnt hurt until about 10 minutes later then started bleeding bad lol

and heres the socket. just got this kit around 2 months ago too lol

luke up on the hoist with elijah jacking it up. boredom while working on honduhs

thats cause you used a 12 point on a six point bolt.. those sockets are usually a little weaker..

wedge a large screwdriver somewhere on the block while having it in the teeth of the flywheel to keep it from moving.

instead of just trying to crank on the bolt with constant pressure. tell him to use his palm and very firmly smack the wratchet.. the shocks usually help break the bolt loose.. if that dont work use a hammer on the wratchet.. then if that dont work get out the breaker bar

dont bother heating the bolt.. cause it will expand and get tighter.. the crank wont heat up and expand with it.

Actually I lifted the motor in and out of the truck by myself, wasn't heavy just really awkward with nothing to hold onto except exhaust studs and a sharp intake manifold. I carried my 4.3l in and out of my garage by myself the 1.6 was no problem.

I broke his socket today, I don't think it like me very well lol

and this is how i hurt my thumb, by holding a 3/8 extension in one of the holes in the flex plate so it wouldnt turn, finally gave and bent the flex plate and wedged my thumb between the plate and the block. with probably 200 ft/lbs or more of force from wilson turning it lol

and the 12 point is the only semi deep well 1/2 inch drive socket i had

There is a tool available to hold the crank pulley. Maybe you can rent one of these

I've used one of these but it will damage the pulley and you would need to file down the marks or it will cut the External belts.
