Description:
The Right Tool for Subaru Crank Pulley Work
The GrimmSpeed GS/OEM Subaru Crank Pulley Removal and Installation Tool is a dedicated tool for removing and installing the crank pulley bolt on Subaru EJ and FA-series engines a procedure that requires holding the crankshaft against the torque of the impact wrench or breaker bar. Without the correct holding tool, alternatives include jamming a screwdriver through the flywheel inspection cover, using a strap wrench that can slip and damage the pulley, or buying a shop that has the right tool. The GrimmSpeed tool solves this correctly.
Why You Need a Dedicated Tool for the Subaru Crank Pulley
The Subaru crank pulley bolt is torqued to a specification that requires the crankshaft to be held stationary during both removal and installation. On vehicles with manual transmissions, the transmission can sometimes be used for this purpose, but on automatics and in many shop environments, a dedicated holding tool is the only correct solution. The GrimmSpeed tool engages the crank pulley directly, holding the crankshaft stationary while the bolt is torqued the same approach used by Subaru dealerships and professional Subaru shops.
Compatible With GrimmSpeed and OEM Subaru Crank Pulleys
The GrimmSpeed crank pulley tool is designed to work with both the GrimmSpeed lightweight crank pulley and the factory Subaru OEM crank pulley the two most common pulleys on modified Subaru EJ and FA-series engines. Essential for any shop or serious DIY owner who works on their own Subaru engine regularly.
