Dear Amarin,

Hope you're well and stay so!!! I've not had to contend with a crank pulley bolt so tight, that I was worried about breakage. I, too, use a crank-hold tool.

The bolt is pretty "beefy", so I'm not too worried about snapping it. I, too, use a 1/2" (12.7 mm) square-drive breaker-bar with a 24" (approx. 600 mm) handle.

While I have air-powered impact wrenches, I've not needed one such to remove a crank pulley.

I've seen on websites, aftermarket crank pulleys (also-known-as harmonic balancers) with slots too narrow - about 6mm wide - to accept the standard crank-hold tool. On Volvo-supplied crank pulleys, the slots are closer to 8mm wide. I do not know why any after-market supplier would use a narrower slot.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
