Does anyone used this to take the crankbolt off a Honda? That's usually the hardest bolt for me. Thanks guys

Yes. A friend was beating on it with his new IR Titanium for a half hour with no progress, and eventually I made him try my NitroCat. 10 seconds later, it was out.

I have had no problem with Honda / Acura crank bolts with mine. I even used it to take one ton truck axle nuts loose.

Have't used mine for this application, mostly working on machinery on the ranch. removing some extremely rusted shackle bolts on a trailer made it work hard but it accomplished the job
298467
I haven't, but have read reviews about that application. Some say it did it easily, some say not so well. Hard to say who is right and what position they were trying to support
298468
I havent. But try putting a paper sheet between the bolt and the socket. This gun rocks man.

Yes, a B16Y5 - I first tried a 500 ft/lb 1/2 in. Drive, and it laughed at it. The Nitrocat 1200 took it off like butter.

I havent for a honda but it zips off toyota 22re and mazda 2.0l crankbolts easy.

i tried it on a dodge crankshaft bolt with no luck but it is very hard hitting that was the only bolt it failed to take out hope this helped it does pull ford bed bolts with out any trouble

I have a bobcat w/ 1" 1/2 lug nuts & it will take them off like nothing. Its the best impact I've ever used.

The one I installed REALLY went into the wheel. It wasn't a problem for me. BUT use longer bolts if it's an issue.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

Does Honda make hitches? Or is it like a uhual or other manufacturers hitch on your Honda? This Hitch did not fit my class 1 hitch adapter because it was longer than the other available. Look at CURT 45785

JD sells self tapping bolts. Very expensive. This is intentionally not threaded. Whether it was right or not , I tapped mine out and used standard thread bolts, nuts, lock washers and loctite.

I might have got lucky. I found a mechanic who could do that for me(reasonable) and he was able to just throw that sucker on and away I went. I've had no problems with it since.

If you have to struggle to pull the bolt back and must push the bolt into battery,I think that the mount is too tight. How snug a fit did you make it? If you filed the base of the mount you may have taken too much off. How easily did the bolt move before with the standard cover? I think that this is a good question for Survivor's SKS board ( www.sksboards.com ) on-line blog.

Good grief. That sucks. I suppose it depends on which bit broke. I assume it's the reverse thread end. Maybe it snapped deep enough that another try will grip enough to pull the whole thing out. Most auto part stores will loan them. If not I'm afraid it's a head pull.

No the metal key can't be removed. My case was broken also. Purchased this. Replaced the insides with the stuff from old key and took it to Honda dealer. He cut the key for free. Works great.

It's very easy. Just twist the knurled lock ring around the crank and it slides out. Presto!

Im not sure what alloy it is, but I can tell you it is very strong. I had to use a 4 ft breaker bar with a 5 ft pipe on the end and use all my weight to break the crank balancer bolt loose on the last honda I did a timing belt on. The tool held the balancer no problem. I would have been SOL without this tool as my 650ft lb impact gun couldn't budge the crank bolt

Well to take this someone would have to first remove your license plate which I believe requires a hex wrench. No that's not right, I ordered the wrong one the first time which came with a short bolt for a different car. (It didn't even reach the thread to screw in) I reordered the correct one and now it's secure. Good luck!

Makes it easier to remove a bolt from your target. I am sure it does help. I use "The Block" and you do have to grip the bolt and pull hard to remove it.

I have one and use it on my full size hitch and the 2.5" hitch on my Honda Fit. All that really counts is the top "U" bolt and the bottom "Beam Hanger". It does the job. I had to play with mine a bit to adjust the angle to fit my hitch. I might install it upside down but the Fit bumper is too close to the hitch. I use it for a bicycle carrier on the Fit, and it stopped the side-to-side sway.

Crank arm bolts are a standard size, and any bike shop should carry them. I'm not sure of the thread pitch or bolt size. Another really important thing to know is that the bolts are hardened to allow extreme torque for pulling the crank onto the taper. If you use an inferior bolt you will have troubles keeping the crank on. The Botom Bracket should have come with a spec sheet, if not go online and look up the torque specs. ...hope this helps you.

When I bought the one shown, the metal key shaft is connected to the plastic case & won't come apart easily or at all. The key shaft is smooth & would have to be laser cut for $100 at dealer. The original Honda key seemed to disassemble into multiple parts but this knock-off doesn't. I just did the best I could with epoxy & returned that new casing.

Looks like it may be possible to remove. Ratchet may be used to remove bolts. Haven't done it...don't quote me:) Hope this helps!
