Crankshaft Pulley Holding Tool Set – New Engine Crankshaft Pulley Holder with Carry Case
Crankshaft Pulley Holding Tool Set with Carry Case
This crankshaft pulley holding tool is a counter-hold tool set used to stop the crankshaft pulley (vibration damper) from turning while you loosen or tighten the central pulley bolt. The set includes a two-arm holding bracket, fixing screws, a flange nut, a tightening screw pin, a turning tool and a crankshaft pressing block, all stored in a blue carry case. Easy Life Markets sells it as a complete set for workshops and experienced home mechanics.
The crankshaft pulley bolt on many engines is tightened to a very high torque, and on engines with a harmonic damper the pulley is also delicate. Trying to hold it with a pry bar or by jamming the flywheel risks damaging the pulley or the engine. A proper holding tool bolts to the pulley and gives you a secure, controlled way to hold it still.

According to the supplier, the set includes:
- 1 x tightening screw pin
- 1 x flange nut
- 2 x bracket fixing screws
- 1 x turning tool

The product photos show the holding bracket, pins, nuts and pressing block, and the tool fitted to an engine.

Checking Suitability
The supplier does not list specific vehicles or engines for this tool. Crankshaft pulleys differ in hole pattern, bolt spacing and center bore between manufacturers and engines. Before ordering, compare the hole spacing and pin positions in the photos with the pulley on your engine. If you are not sure, send us a photo and your engine details and we will help you check.
What You Can Use It For
- Loosening and tightening the crankshaft pulley bolt during timing belt or chain work
- Holding the pulley while removing or fitting a harmonic damper
- Holding the crankshaft steady during front crank seal replacement
- Pressing or positioning parts on the crankshaft nose, using the pressing block
How to Use a Pulley Holding Tool Safely
- Disconnect the battery before working on the front of the engine.
- Bolt the holding bracket securely to the pulley using the correct holes, and make sure it cannot slip.
- Brace the handle against a solid point or hold it firmly while a second person applies torque to the bolt.
- Use a breaker bar for loosening and a torque wrench for tightening, following the torque and angle values in your service manual.
- Check whether your crankshaft bolt is a single-use part that must be replaced.
Why a Dedicated Holding Tool Helps
Improvised methods can damage parts. Jamming a screwdriver in the flywheel teeth can break teeth or crack the bell housing, and using the starter to break a bolt loose is risky. A holding tool that bolts to the pulley spreads the load evenly and keeps the engine from turning, which is especially important when setting timing on belt-driven engines.
Looking After the Tools
Clean the tools after use, check the pins and threads for wear, and store everything back in the case so no parts go missing. A worn pin or damaged thread can slip under load, so replace any damaged pieces before using the set again.
Using the Pressing Block
The crankshaft pressing block included in the set is used to support or press parts on the nose of the crankshaft, such as when fitting a pulley or seal squarely. Work slowly and evenly, keep the parts aligned, and never hammer on the crankshaft nose, as that can damage the thrust bearings. Always follow the service information for your engine when fitting pulleys, seals and bolts.
Who This Tool Set Is For
This set suits independent workshops that carry out timing belt and front-seal work, mobile mechanics, and experienced home mechanics who want a safer way to hold the crankshaft pulley than improvised methods. Keeping all parts together in the case makes it quick to set up on the next job.
Common Questions
Does it fit every car? No. Compare the pulley hole pattern with the photos before ordering.
Does it replace engine timing locking tools? No. It holds the pulley; many engines also need specific camshaft and crankshaft locking tools for timing work.
