Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

Looking at HF's site, it looks like they have entirely replaced the old design with the design you bought, on 1/2" drive breaker bars. 3/8" and 3/4" drive bars have the old design.

My HF breaker bar's head looks exactly like your Herbrand bar.

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

The 3 piece Harbor Freight breaker bar set I bought a few years ago (probably for $10) has the same head design as your old Herbrand and is straight rod until a rubber handle on the end, rather than...

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

I totally understand your frustration. My projects often go exactly like that.

I'm guessing that you didn't want to risk breaking your favorite breaker bar on this job, and that's why you bought...

Wow, great work on acquiring and putting the right combination of tools together and getting the job done!

I'm surprised that the pipe was so expensive.

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

Any news?

I wore gloves while working today. They are $1 latex-dipped cotton gloves that I can kinda tolerate and they prevented me from getting too much icky automotive fluid on my hands although...

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

I agree, they may all be equal or some parts store belts might even be better. I don't think there's any way for any of us to know, with the possible exception of acquiring some and comparing. Trying...

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

DPH doesn't sell parts, they just list dealers who sell them. I think they probably have the part numbers in their database but don't currently have any listings.

You could try this Google...

I'll definitely keep an eye open for kevlar gloves. Your description will help me choose, I think.

How is the grip? They look slippery.

How do they handle grime, oil, grease, and solvents/fuel?

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

I like old tools...not for everything, but I would certainly be as happy with an antique breaker bar as you are with yours.

Honestly I've never tried really good quality gloves. I ought to invest...

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

That's great that you wear gloves. I am so uncomfortable in gloves that I rarely wear them...I wish I would wear them more often.

Using a torque wrench as a breaker bar is a bad idea, you'll...

Re: Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

I'll second that. A breaker bar is an important tool to have. It's useful, it's more pleasant than a ratchet with a pipe, and above all it's more safe. The amount of force involved in breaking a...

Have you checked with all the parts stores in your area to see if they have a loaner?
