Is there anyone is Salt Lake who has a crankshaft pulley tool I can borrow? I tried to put together a makeshift tool with a 2X4 and a couple of bolts, but it gave out at about 120 ft/lbs. Dammit! This 5 hour timing belt job has extended into its second day, now.

'02 4runner 3.4L

 

In Bountiful, but I dont have the tool.

 

get a chunk of flat steel ?

 

is it a manual? if it is, you can put it into 5th gear and have someone stand on the brakes while you torque the bolt down

 

It's an automatic... I wish I knew how to weld, I would just whip one up.

 

just take it to like a muffler shop they prob do it free

 

In bountiful as well but I don't have the tool.

Call Kurt at Cruiseroutfitters he might be able to help out or know of someone that can.

Spend a couple of hours and make this tool:

It'll last forever and works great.

 

Build the tool. I fought with mine and used a piece of plate alum. Used pulley off the harmonic dampener to get bolt pattern and bolted it on and blocked it to the frame. The crankshaft is not the problem its the cam bolts!!! Make " THE TOOL" it will keep you sane !!!

 

Well, I would have to look at it to make sure but with other cars, I have taken two 3/8 half inch extensions and placed a pry bar between the two to hold the crankshaft and then tightened the bolt, has worked every time so far.

 

use a impact gun.
