HELP CRANK PULLEY needs to be replaced

[rexjr919]

Hey guys i just bought a CB7 last week and the crank pulley went bad on it so can anyone please tell me how to replace it

[Jarrett]

First you should make sure that only your crank pulley went bad and not anything else within the engine. On that note, how did you determine your crank pulley went bad?

Anyway, if your accessories are still attached then you'll need to loosen up their adjusters (1 on the power steering bracket and the other on the alternator) and remove the belts. Then jack up the front of the car and remove the driver's wheel. Then put the car in gear if it's a manual and put a 19mm socket on the crankshaft bolt and break it off. You'll likely need a breaker bar and a cheater pipe to break this bolt off. Reinstallation is just reverse of removal. Pay close attention to how the metal gear that holds the gear in place goes. I would also strongly advise that you do a timing job while you're in there if it has been a while.

Yeah, a crank pulley isn't a wear part, it's not like they just "go bad" every now and then. If yours wasn't torqued down enough and started to machine itself on the crank, it wouldn't be a bad idea to loc-tite the new one one.

I've seen one break like this.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any idea what caused that? Belts too tight or something? Or freak defect?

Hit something once (like a rock) maybe?

I have not a clue, I bought it like that and went to do a timing belt and it just came apart.

Basically tha outer rib is fused to the iner part on rubber, I guess it just got hard and shrunk over time.

Jesus!! That's one murdered crank pulley, and I thought mine was crap when I popped the hood on my cb7 when I picked her up after 12 years of slacking maintenance of just oil changes. Everything was about 50k miles overdue for changing but this is something new altogether

[peejayreyes]

just want to ask if a 94-96 crankshaft pulley is compatible with our cb7?

[Jarrett]

Not really. The A/C and power steering portion of the pulley has one more rib than the CB pulley. People have made it work but you can end up ruining belts. If you wanted you could swap over the CD Accord alternator and A/C compressor to match.

How do you have a CB in the Philippines? I thought you didn't get the Accord until '94.

Pare PEEJAYREYES, Jarrett is correct it will end up ruining your belts because of the other rib. His suggestion would be nice to consider.

Hey Jarrett my friend, this guy is from my City back home, maybe he has a FLIP sister (Find Looking Island People) just joking.

Set the timing on your crank pulley?

It only goes on one way.
