Bolt question
« on: March 04, 2009 - 11:11:46 PM »
What size socket fits on the bolt holding the pulley to the harmonic balancer?

I have tried all the ones I have and none fit.  I will need to buy one, and I don't want to make multiple trips to the parts store.

Thank.

There are 6 bolts that hold the pulley to the harmonic balancer and they are 1/2 inch. Or are you reffering to the single large bolt that hold the harmonic on the crank ?  What are you trying to remove ?

If you're talking about the big bolt I'm going to say 1 1/4" but it's been awhile.  I seem to remember buying 1 1/16" and 1 3/16" sockets too.   :icon16:

the factory bolt into the nose of the crank is 1 1/4" if the bolt is aftermarket it is smaller usually 1 3/16 "

It could be either 1 3/16" or 1 1/4", buy both & return the one you do not need.  ;)
