Lisle 77080 19 mm Harmonic Balancer Socket for Honda, Factory

This is one of the best tools I have ever purchased. I have done over 20 timing belts on Hondas over the years and getting the balancer bolt off has always been this biggest issue. This made taking the balancer bolt off just like any other bolt. This is worth every penny if you plan to do a timing belt change out.

This socket worked great! I had tried two others and bought a new impact wrench. 1,000 lb-ft wouldn’t do it with a typical impact socket. Breaking two 1/2” drive extensions with a breaker bar wouldn’t do it. This socket did it in about 30 seconds. I let it impact for about 3-4 seconds set to loosen, then tapped it set to tighten, then back to loosen. It spun right off. I had cranked on the bolt so much with other impact sockets that the bolt showed fairly significant sign of distress before I used this socket so I was weary of ruining the bolt but this socket is so heavily made that it didn’t seem to deflect at all which prevented the bolt from giving way. In the end I’m super pleased with this socket and it was easily worth the money.

Made quick work of getting the harmonic balancer off of my wife’s Honda Odyssey. So much easier using this with an impact than any other method.

I tried for two days to get the crankshaft pulley bolt out on my 03 Acura MDX 3.5L. I tried the caveman method with cheater bars, the special crank holder tool, soaking it with Kroil then doing the caveman, heating it with a butane torch, soaking it in Kroil, and doing the caveman -- nothing. I put my beast of an impact driver on it and hammered away. Still nothing. Heated it and impact hammered it. Nope.Frustrated and very sweaty, I went on YouTube and found a video of a guy with a special socket he said was made by "Titan", I think. The socket was a standard 19mm impact socket welded into a larger piece of pipe. He stuck his impact gun with this homemade looking socket on the crank, zipped it, and out came the bolt! I had to have me one of these and I had to have it today (well, tomorrow actually with one day Prime and some extra bucks).I found this one here on Amazon and ordered it. It came this morning.The bolt on my crank is out. That's why I'm writing this glowing review. Amazing. If you're in this situation, I urge you to buy this socket now. Think of the hair you'll save on your head as well as the Xanax you won't need.I have a 3/4" drive 1400 lb./ft. (or so) impact gun with a 3/4" to 1/2" impact drive adapter. The only reason I own this beast is for crank pulley bolts. I put this socket directly on the impact gun (no extensions) and I hit with 100 PSI of regulated air through a 3/8" ID rubber air hose. My compressor is not a large one, a DeWalt that produces 3CFM at 90PSI, I think. I hit it for about a minute, and nothing. I let the compressor catch up. I hit it again for about a minute. Nothing. I let the compressor catch up. The third time, I notice immediately that the gun was spinning faster, and then it broke. Out came the *&(_)^ crank bolt!The socket itself is made in Taiwan, patent pending, comes in a nice plastic bag in a nice cardboard box, it's well finished, and precision machined. Very heavy, which is what makes it work so well. I was very pleased with the quality.Good luck, fellow knucklebusters.

VERY solid and well made- better than expected. This was the little extra that we needed to get the crankshaft bolt off- it worked!

This tool removed my Honda's crank bolt in one second. Before ordering this tool, I had soaked it in penetrating oil for days and tried the Honda specific crank tool, rented from the local auto parts store, with no luck, even going as far as breaking the anvil off a breaker bar in the process. This socket on a Milwaukee impact gun was stupid easy and fast.

Works great.

Honestly this socket does what it is supposed to do. I had issues trying to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt on a 2007 acura tl and couldn't do it for 3 days and decided to buy this socket. And in less that 5 seconds I was able to remove it with my 1/2 milwakee hig torque impact. A must buy product!
