My 1991 Civic Shuttle

hit a bit of a brick wall though now.

nice progress, dont worry bout it i think we have all hit a fukin brick wall rite about now mate hope u get everything sorted.

well

If the crank pull bolt wasn't welded in place it would probably be back on the raod tomorrow, but no

2 extension bars and 2 17mm sockets ive broken. It just wont budge.

You will need to blow torch the hell out of that bolt heat will expand it an break the seal then spray it with some shok and unlok straight away so instant hot and freeze, then soon as u sprayed it get the socket breaker bar on it jus be carfrull not to mess up crank, thread or woodruff key cuz then there is no goin back.

alredy tried that, still won't shift. The only thing I can do now is get it back togeather using the much tighter d14 cam belt and carfully drive it to a gargae and get them to use the air tools on it.

if you can do that go for it, instead of messing around cuz u sed u didnt have much time, so ye if u can safely get it to a garage just let them crack it loose get bak home and jus get back on it.

how come your taking the crank pulley off?

to change the cam belt

not meaning this in a dickhead way but why? i've never done it that way.

you ever changed the cambelt on a d series?

ye on my first EG why? i need to come and have a look at this im confused lol

please do!!!

If its any help, I was around during Ash's mini-me swap and he never removed the crank pulley.

Well the crank pully has 100% deffo gotta come off, there is no way around it.
I have spent 2 days just trying to undo it. Even Tesh hooked me up with a breaker bar and a impact socket with no joy still.
My mate next door is going to his dads later to get me his impact driver.
Also my old man's got tomorrow PM off and is giving me a hand so fingers crossed it should be done by tomorrow night,

can you explain why its gotta come off?

a breaker bar & the bar of justice did mine

if all else fails ned, get that 3/8 breaker bar, the extention for it and the socket man no way you can snap that one,

we will see how it goes.


Cus, there is no way the cambelt cover will come off while the crank pully is in the way

that sounds like its held in with the collective power of vtec y0!
i was gonna come up over the weekend with my breaker bar of epic (5foot lol) but im off to norfolk this weekend to see family (and pick up my satin black paint) but if you get no joy by the time im back on monday i'll bust a move to you.
did you get the water pump or you still need that cause when i left halfords i kept my trade cards

nar didn't bother with it in the end, fingers crossed the impact wrench should work tomorrow

im really baffled by this, surely there has got to be a way of getting the cover off!
im not takin the piss outta your knowledge btw ned lol
i wana come and have a look cuz im amazed at how this crank thing is stuck on!
pm your postcode ned and i'll see if i can pop over at some point to have a ganda!

ok, good news, just had it turning over on the starter motor and all seems good
makes me feel like doing this


Looks like it will be on the road tomorrow

well done for gettin through it.

lol^ have you put the carbs on it? get a pick up!

yeah engines almost back together.
