Honda 8-97086-826-0 Crankshaft Pulley

The bolts are then removed to detach the radiator shroud from the radiator and then the cooling fan and the radiator shroud can be easily detached by removal of the mounting bolts. Unbolt the suspension crossmember as required if there is any interference in pick-up models. If necessary or for easier reinstallation loosen the adjusting bolts and then proceed to detach all the drivebelts on the car and mark on them for easy identification in the future. Take off the bolts to the crankshaft pulley using a screwdriver to preciously lock the starter ring gear on the flywheel to ensure that it does not rotate while removing the crankshaft pulley hub; this will require the removal of the four bolts that hold the drivebelt pulley to the crankshaft harmonic balancer. Take out the harmonic balancer to crankshaft bolt, and if necessary, pull off the flywheel inspection plate or starter motor, while an assistant places a large screwdriver between the ring gear teeth to prevent the engine from rotating as the bolt is loosened using a breaker bar and socket. The puller must be placed on the balancer and then draw off the crankshaft very gently, especially not to let it drop; never use the common gear puller because it may pull the outer part of the balancer out of the hub. We should use a puller which screws on the hub, thereby avoiding the scratching of the crankshaft threads by the big puller bolt. Before installation apply moly-base grease on the oil seal journal part of the balancer, put the balancer over the key on the crankshaft such that the keyway in the balancer matches up with the key. A balancer installation tool should be used to fit the balancer to the crankshaft, applying pressure from all angles on the hub; if not available, a bolt that screws into the crankshaft with a large washer may be used. After that, unscrew the installation tool; screw the balancer bolt and tighten it as per the recommended torque. To complete the process the procedures of the removal should be reversed and the drivebelts should be realigned.
