DIY Crankshaft Pulley Holder, Harmonic Balancer Removal Tool - Home Made

This home made tool was successfully used in removal of crankshaft pulley in a 2002 Camry V6 1MZ-FE engine. It was also used for blocking timing belt pulleys for their removal and reinstallation to the factory torque.

Brilliant - Going to try this on a slightly higher torque bolt......

You are Genius, I was looking for simple tool to make but this is out of this world, Thanks :-)

My pullley has no screw holes, only 3 slots. plus I dont have a garge door arm like that, this pulley bolt has set me back an entire day, so far.

Different makes and models of cars have different pulley construction. This one was 2002 Camry V6.

All you have to do is put your breaker bar on the bolt against the control arm and bump the starter

I've done it too. But some people, myself included, may prefer the more "all under control" solution. And the tool allows to torque the bolt back to factory specs, if someone wants that.
