I really do not want to tighten the 22mm crank bolt with an impact when the crank pulley holder tools are not that expensive anymore, Can anyone confirm a tool that works on an Evo8? This is the sort of tool I want, but it needs to fit the Mitsu crank pulley. I’m not sure if this one does, or the others like it on amazon and ebay. Thanks!

 

Anyone used this?

Yea the tool on ebay is easy to use. You can position it so it's wedged into the AC compressor as you tighten the crank pulley with your torque wrench.

 

If motor is on the engine stand you can use a couple flywheel bolts and a prybar on the other side to keep the crank from spinning when torquing down the crank bolt. If you dont have the trans off then that tools looks like it would work fine. Alternatively, no reason you cant make that really easily with a piece of flat stock and a couple strategic holes.

 

You could make this in ~5 minutes with a grinder and piece of flat stock from home depot of $5...
