Customer Review: helpful hints
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is sufficient for removing the crankshaft pulley . It does fit too loose but this is easily remedied by wrapping it a couple of times with a narrow strip of duck tape. When wrapped , gently tap it into the pulley until it is well seated. Then attach a 24" 1/2inch breaker bar and brace it against the floor . At this point an impact wrench would come in handy but the average person does not have a large enough compressor . I rented an electric impact that was not strong enough . Another 24" 1/2inch breaker will work but with only one 12inch extension . This is accomplished by removing the fender and bracing the extension at its mid point with a jackstand . Removing the fender , bumper and headlight is simple and saves in the overall time of replacing the timing belt !Customer Review: Indispensable tool for working on these Hondas!!

If you like to do your own semi-major engine work, do not hesitate to buy one of these in advance. Removing the crank pulley bolt without one is an excersize in frustration and risky hacks. I tried it, and was quite frustrated. So I bought this tool. $25 later, and the bolt is off with very little effort. You will need this tool, a 19mm socket (for the pulley bolt), an extension for the socket, and two decently long breaker bars. A long-handled socket wrench, or a socket wrench with a cheater pipe will work fine, too. The wrench/breaker bar you use on this tool has to be 1/2" drive.
Definitely 100% worth it.
Strangely, the tool I received was not an Alltrade, but a Powerbuilt.

This tool worked great. I did a timing, balancing belt and water pump on my 94 accord and I could not have done this job without this tool. Now you need to have patience to do this job and to use the tool to break loose the crank bolt you will use every muscle in your body. But once you hear the loud snap when the bolt breaks loose you will realize that you bought the right tool. Just don't do what I did and have the gasket fold in on the water pump and have to tear the whole car apart to find the leak. Oh and you will need this tread forum to know step by step what to do. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1908944 remember to copy the tread in ms word and enlarge the pics then print it out.Customer Review: Does the job

I can't imagine removing a crank pulley bolt without this tool, unless you have a really large impact driver (3/4"). I just put it in the crank pulley, shimmed it to keep it from wiggling, and let the handle torque against the car body while I worked on the bolt with a large breaker bar. The bolt took about 400 ft-lbs to release, but the tool held its ground. If you are doing this for the first time, you'll also need a 2' extender on a 19 mm socket, and the largest 1/2" socket breaker bar + cheater bar you can get your hands on. You also will probably need a partner to stabilize the extender while you apply torque, but you can't get one of those on Amazon.com.Customer Review: Powerbuilt Pulley Removal Tool

This tool is awesome. If your a do-it-yourselfer, there is no better value as this tool will last a lifetime. This tool allows you to hold the crankshaft in place, while you loosen the bolt retaining the crankshaft pulley. You then have access to the timing belt, water pump, and balance shaft belt. The tool has a provision for a half inch breaker bar, and a hole through the center allowing insertion of a 17mm socket to loosen the crankshaft bolt. This was my first attempt doing this job, and it turned out being easy, the hardest part was removing the crankshaft bolt. There is no way I would have done this job successfully without the Powerbuilt tool.
