papak Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I need to remove the front cover with the engine in the car. Please don't ask why. I am looking for the Ford service tool (205-126) or an effective equivalent. The best I'm finding online so far is around $100. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastg Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Check your local parts store. I was able to rent a Honda crank pulley tool for free from my local Napa. Worth a try. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papak Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) I had no luck with that. I ended up purchasing the Ford tool (205-126). It does an excellent job of holding the pulley, however, it remains a two-man job to loosen and tighten the bolt. This was precipitated by my adjusting the adjustable cam gears and dropping the allen wrench down inside the front cover (Ah shit!). Should you ever have to perform this adjustment, wedge a clean piece of saran wrap or a fresh plastic zip-lock bag beneath the gears to avoid this calamity.
