I put CPACruiser's crank pulley tool to good use this week. And it worked like a charm! I've never had such an easy time removing a crank pulley bolt on a 1FZFE. And now when I am ready to install the crank pulley again I will have a great way to hold things in place to torque the bolt down correctly without risking damage to the rubber in the pulley.

Awesome simple tool, Thanks again CPACruiser!

Great video, glad to be of service :cheers:

For removal, it made it a breeze. I'm more excited about how I will get to actually torque the crank bolt to the correct specs now with your tool, instead of guessing and hoping for the best.
 
Tools great nice work!
I’m getting my ass kicked still while tearing down the parts motor I have. Bar methods have resulted in stoppage as the bolts on the engine stand started to bend! Going to spray it down and heat it up for my next round at it.

Try a torch on the edge of the bolt where the washer is. For about 60 seconds then try to crack it loose.

Heat can ruin the rubber in the harmonic balancer. If your using the tool correctly there should not be pressure on the engine stand bolts.

I had a breaker bar in the tool to under my frt bumper and a breaker bar on the bolt and I can see it breaking off the engine stand head bolts before braking this bolt loose. Stopped before it got worse and I did that. Not sure what proper use will be.

Doing it that way the down force is try to pull the motor off the stand.
Try putting a cheater bar on the beaker bar holding the pulley in place down to the base of the engine stand.
 
Laser cut these today boys, won't be long now. Gotta get them in the mill to radius them (tooling on it's way), then get them in the brake, then powder coated for those who ordered that option.

Bare metal orders should ship out mid next week. The shop is really busy so my personal stuff gets shoved unfortunately. Just wanted to let you guys know they're coming!

Bit tight on space but I moved stuff around to do that. Thanks man! Unfortunately mines grooved pretty bad too. I’ll be ordering one as well.

To those who ordered, I appreciate your patience...I'm very pleased with these and I'm confident you all will be as well. :wrench::D

These bad boys are STOUT. Other brands are made from 10mm (a bit over 3/8)... These 1/2 behemoths are recovery points on roids. 💪🏻🤠

The bolt pattern front and rear is the same right, so these will also work on the rear of the 80 Series?
Thanks.
 
I’ll PM you, my crank pulley tool is MIA either hiding or I scrapped it not having labeled it as a 1FZ SST.

(Hint : buy a set of cheap alphabet punches - pretty sure I scrapped my homebrew one.)

Sounds good! I've actually considered laser etching 1FZ-CPT into these...perhaps I shall on the next batch I run.

It would save some of us re-making / re-buying SST’s. :bang:

Prior to buying cheap HF alphabet punch set I tried to paint any homebrew tools obnoxious colors (made 2 Prelude tools purple, BMW are baby blue)

Laser or punches are the way to fly, I’d used a Dremel HSS bit but the paint filled the etchings (prob was cheap bit, went dull fast).
— Dremel is a fail, but I didn’t take it to work shop & go nuts w/ a die grinder & those bits :meh:
