i already have the engine out, that was the easy part, now i have the
jdm h22 on my engine hoist and have heard of the autotensioner failing.
how do i remove the crankshaft bolt when it is out of the car? should i
set the engine on the ground? haven't tryed yet, just want to be
prepared. obviously the special honda removal tool in the previous
links is the best way to go other then air, but the engine on a hoist
may present a problem when trying to break the bolt loose. i have both
the service manual, swap guide and the chilton manual, but am sure
there are others things i should be aware of when working with the
timing belt. i work with networks and computers so the wiring and
electrical is second nature to me, but the machanical i want make sure
i do correct.
