IPD Crank Holder Fails on First Use - WTF? 900 1995

The Volvo B230 Crank Counterhold Hold Tool Volvo PN 9995284.

You buy Volvo tools from Tasca or from the Volvo Manufacturer of Volvo tools, SPX Tools. volvocars.spx.com

This tool secures the crank as you remove the big bolt securing the harmonic balancer crank pulley on the B230 (or other low friction variant).

The problem is that this tool cannot be used if you buy a new B230 harmonic balancer crank pulley. The tool won't fit. People give in and grind the tool to fit the smaller holes on the new Volvo OEM B230 harmonic balancer crank pulley.

I contacted OTC SPX and they said contact Volvo. One has to contact Volvo Cars corporate as perhaps some dumb mechanical engineer or manager flubbed.

I don't care what ANYONE says about the "ROPE TRICK". You RISK damaging the piston of the cylinder you stuff the nylon rope into as well as the alignment pins on the lower timing belt gear and the timing guides on either side of the gear. Even if you have a manual tranny so you can limit engine movement with parking brake and manual tranny in gear, you risk damaging the lowering timing belt alignment pieces and even breaking the gear itself.

So, cheers,

Eggnog boyeeeeeeee
