Good times.
I once needed a special tool- a ~50mm hex 'wrench' that was open in the middle to allow a bolt inside to be turned. Hex holds the crankshaft pulley, loosen nut,,remove pulley. Easy..... Tool was $160. and 2+ weeks out. So I took some flat stock, cut pieces and welded up a hex onto a 3" flat bar. Bar acts as handle, grind hex to fit. Bored the center for the 1/2" drive for the socket. 200ftlbs or so
Put it on the crankshaft pulley, socket on the 24mm nut. Applied force....
the fact that the hex wasnt even, stressed the cast pulley on one of the faces...and fractured the hex shape. Now, even with the proper tool, I was screwed-. no more hex indentation. F F F F!
Well, what now? No going back now.... disconnected the battery, clamped a ground clamp onto the tool AND the pulley, and welded it right onto the pulley.
Removed the pulley. $200 for a new pulley
OT for sure, but you guys would appreciate the story. One of those lessons you learn.
