You will either need a strong impact gun or a pulley holding tool if you're trying to loosen it by hand. If the '89 integra does not have the 50 mm hex opening for the pulley holding tool (available at places like Tool Town), then you can fabricate a tool to fit in the holes in the pulley. Essentially, you get a length of angle iron (about 2 feet or so) or other sturdy steel and drill two holes in it. For my '88 Civic I drilled the holes 3 inches apart. This allowed the bolts inserted through the steel to lock into the holes skipping a hole in between. On my Civic the holes are 12 mm in diameter. You can use 12 mm bolts or you may have better luck using 7/16 inch bolts (11.11 mm) as they will allow for a little margin of error with respect to the location of the holes you drilled in the steel bar. Try to use fine threaded bolts. You can even use some heat shrink tubing over the bolts to help protect the pulley. Another option is to thread some nuts onto the bolts from the back side of the pulley to help hold it but be sure not to over tighten them, just hand tight. Another option which is less successful is to clamp an old alternator belt Eric You must Sign in before you can post messages.
