Also- what are all of you using for dowls? Just steel rods? Hardened steel pins. I have heard of people using 1/4" drill bits too. I bought the pins I have from Procharger.

caddy03pimpin Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I did this one out of the truck but the following week I did another in the truck wasn't to hard I had my fans out to make a little room I used a smaller bit to cut in between the the crank and bal. The I used the correct size bit to finish it off took no more the 15 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Guys why not just buy a crank pinning kit? It comes with the jig, the bit,2 pins and a new crank bolt. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyrick562 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I really need to find out if my crank is pinned. How hard is it and what has to be removed. I was told my blower was installed at magnuson so idk if they might have done it Edited March 16, 2013 by xxssmaniacxx (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bitch to get off, and a bitch to put back on (remember you need a new one if you pull it-ONE TIME USE BOLT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juriha Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 If you can get an impact up in there (I did) its not that hard to get out...but like asset said, you need a new crank bolt if you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavid0412 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have not had any issues getting the bolt out with my 1/2" impact gun, and when I drilled the balancer, I used my 3/8 air drill. I did not have to remove my electric fans or anything. Just the lower splash guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavid0412 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah I know that's why I keep putting it off The bolt is like $6 from the stealership. Before you go through what I did, its worth it to make sure it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I did it with out the jig its very easy ill see if I can find the pics only cost me $10 to do I did it without the jig as well. Turned out pretty nice. I used 8mm dowels. Pretty stout little bastards. If i could do it again though, since i had the crank out and everything, i should have paid the machine shop to do a professional looking job and put a nice clean key way on it. But nevertheless, its done and that pulley is gonna need WAY more torque than what im pushing to walk around that crank snout. Plus i had it all balanced after i pinned it, so its all good to go.
