91 SE 2.2

I would like to replace my timing belt, balance shaft belt & tensioner, tensioner pulley and water pump. This all comes in a kit.

1990-1993 Honda Accord F22A1 Timing Belt Kit - balance shaft belt, balance shaft tensioner, timing belt, tensioner pulley, and water pump FJJ-0003-HND ($153.99... This a good price?)


My biggest concern I think, is getting the crank pulley bolt loose as it is torqued to approx. 160 Ft-Lbs.

I don't have a compresser yet. What size do you recommend to do the job for sure?

Will I have to heat the bolt up even with a compresser of the right PSI's to do the job also or it should come right off?

About how much should I expect to pay for a compressor of the right PSI's?

looks like a good price to me...as far as getting the bolt off all you need is leverage...a good socket wrench and longer piece of pipe should do the trick...it's getting it back on to the proper torque that's the problem...if you go to a place that sells compressors they have specifications for all that, they would be best to tell you which one you need

you are gonna have a fun time trying to get the bolt off w/out the honda special service tool to hold the pulley in place while you remove the bolt. w/out this tool....even w/ a impact gun....you'll just be spinning the pulley around unless it was pretty loose to start off w/. you may have to invest into this tool to make this job easier on yourself. it is a 2 piece toll...the holder and the handle for the holder. all you really need is the holder....and go off the auto zone and pick up a 1/2" breaker bar ($10) in place of the handle.

Yea I know what I'm in for!

Something like this should work too I think.

Thing is if you attack the bolt wit a breaker bar and pipe on it once you have the pulley set up not to turn it doesn't seem like you can get leverage unless 5the car is up on a lift?

Will an air gun DEFINITLY work ???????
