High Mass impact socket for front pulley bolt
Saw this in a video the other day -
It's a 19mm socket that is much thicker and heavier. When you use an impact gun with it has more of an effect due to the extra mass. Going to get one at some point, would be interested if it helps removing the front 19mm pulley bolt.

Yeah my normal method is torch it then put a 6' cheater pipe on it and a flywheel lock to hold the engine still. Works but it's interesting.
It's always funny to me that people get more worked up over the flywheel nut than the front pulley bolt. Hands down that pulley bolt is WAY harder to remove.

19mm is 19mm
Honda crank pulley bolts are also famous for being a pain to remove. You have to remove them to do a timing belt. I've done that job twice on our previous Honda Odyssey's and it is a challenge to get that bolt off.
Regardless I don't see any reason why that wouldn't fit.

I use this with a Milwaukee 1/2 M18 impact https://www.amazon.com/Ingersoll-Ran.../dp/B01CVAG1SG I have yet to come across a front bolt or flywheel that it would not remove. At nearly 1/3 the price the Lisle might be worth a shot for the hobbyist.
I was going to suggest just welding some mass to the outer end of a lower cost impact socket … no different than cutting a slot in a standard impact socket for removing a neutral/reverse sensor switch.

So I got one of these for Christmas and had my first opportunity to use it.
No dice.
This was on a Mazda-build RX-8 engine. Heated up the bolt, hit it with the impact gun and this socket, no movement. Breaker bar with 4' of cheater pipe and that was good to go, though.
I have a decent air impact gun. Hell, it did the flywheel nut no sweat.
I think this may help with a real He-Man impact gun but don't expect a miracle cure. Breaker bar and cheater pipe never let me down.

If you remember your physics courses, the greater the ratio of the impacting mass vs the impacted mass, the faster the impacted mass will move. This happens both inside the wrench, then from the square drive to the socket, and finally from the socket to the nut. So the effectiveness of impact on the nut depends on the relative rotational inertia of all 3 masses.
That's why I had my doubts on a heavy socket's effectiveness.

Interesting! I haven't watched that channel in a while, going to need to catch up on it . Thanks for posting that!
That socket looks to be interesting for sure.
