    Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I was thinking if I could get a couple nuts in there that might lend some strength.

    Is the Schley tool (SP 64400) really that bad of an idea? People report good results with it. Not the cheapest thing in the world, but if it saves me a couple hours and some grief it's worth it.

    Many folks use it with complete success. The tool only grips the hub portion of the pulley, it can be damaged or completely shear off, it's rubber mounted like the outer pulley portion. This is very rare but non the less the potential is there.

    I just had this quoted this week. My local Dealership wants $900 to replace everything mentioned. Two other shops wanted $1100 for the same work.

    Seeing how the dealer gets those parts pretty cheap I'm guessing they're quoting 6-8 hours labor. That's not a bad price when you consider what all has to be done. I expected to get $1,200 or so if I started calling around. Everything seems to be a little more expensive here compared to other parts of the country. Not sure I could get it done in a timely manner either. There's still a local backlog of repairs from last Summer's hail storm.

    Parts all got here today - thanks again for the recommendations y'all. Got a lot of the stuff torn out already. Just waiting for the balancer tool to get here now. Also found the thing that made me dig in here in the first place. It was almost time, but a clacking noise set this into motion early.

    One of the bolts that holds the rear timing cover backed out on me and started making this awful clacking noise. I parked the truck not knowing what I'd find & glad I did. That could have done some damage. Err, it actually did. Not sure the extent, but getting that other bolt out looks like it's gonna be a real hoot.

    I went with the one piece Schley as it looks like the only one that will fit. I also bought a flywheel puller tool.

    I'm still on the fence about what tool to get or whether to attempt to make my own. Mind posting up how well it works when you get to that point?

    Will do.

    I can say at this point I'm glad I bought the pulley holder tool. It took a lot of torque to get those bolts off even hitting them with an impact a few seconds each.

    That thing fit like a glove. I got it into place with a breaker bar under the frame & went around it with a rubber mallet to make sure it was seated all the way. Then a big heave with a 6-sided 19mm on a 1/4 inch drive and SNAP. Broke the drive off the rachet. I ran off to the store & picked up a Tekton 24" breaker with a 1/2" drive along with a matching 19mm 6-point box end socket. Another 18" bar over that & it broke free without drama. The Schley tool made that REALLY easy. It's gonna come in handy for re-torquing too. Not sure what the bump-off crowd does there. So yes, the tool is totally worth it. Yes, it's just a big cast hunk of metal, but it's a perfect fit & just made my life a lot easier.

    Tekton is a new brand to me, but so far I'm really impressed with their stuff. Seems quite a bit nicer than Dewalt hand tools (I was comparing directly in the store).

    For all the trouble I've had with some of these bolts, I got a nice surprise after pulling the bolt. For giggles I thought I'd try to pull the balancer off by hand. A few wiggles back and forth and it came right off! :bananadance:

    This tensioner is gonna be a beeyotch though. Gonna have to get creative.

    And I'll say it again. Buy the pulley tool.

    I've had a Tekton 2' breaker bar and 10-110 lb ft torque wrench for a few years now and they've done well in the time I've used them. I bought the 250 lb ft torque wrench for the crank bolt.

    Yeah my 1/2" dewalt cordless impact zipped off the crank bolt no problem - I'm just concerned about holding the crank in place while I retorque it.

    Glad to hear the balancer came off easily - I've had one of each where one came off by hand and another needed a puller I rented from Pepboys. Are you talking about the hydraulic tensioner? I've heard of people having problems with something in this process, but I did it with the engine out of the truck so I can't relate... I imagine with enough swivel sockets anything is doable...

    I think I'm gonna buy the 300 ft lb Tekton torque wrench tomorrow. Mine's only good for 90 :(

    I couldn't get my fat Ridgid impact in there, but kinda needed that breaker anyway.

    Yes, the timing chain tensioner. It's just really hard to get to the rear bolt. Kinda need to move the compressor bracket out of the way, but it can be done with swivels and electrical tape. Maybe. I've seen it in a video. The front bolt was really on there though. I'll find out tomorrow. That's enough for today.

    I took out my compressor no problem - I remember people mentioning that too, but I did that on the truck and it was easy imo.

    I have a bunch of regular wobble extensions, uniball swivels, and swivel sockets; I don't know if that had something to do with me not having a hard time?

    I used this one a couple weekends ago. Had absolutely no problem getting the crank pulley loose... and absolutely no problem torquing it back to spec using it.


    FWIW... I didn't even need a flywheel puller. My crank pulley slid right off, no problem.
