Great timing as a just did the timing belt on our 2012 odyssey today.
111k on engine.
I order the aisin kit and Lisle heavy socket, new bando serp belt.

First I tried using my DeWalt electric impact wrench to remove the crankbolt. Nope
Then I tried a 2 ft breaker bar with 3 foot pipe... Pipe started nearly vertical and then I brought it down and touched the floor.... Nope didn't budge.

I went to HF and got the 1/2 earthquake xt , 1150 ft lbs breakaway torque. I connected it to my 4 gallon compressor. And it spun weaker and slower than my DeWalt electric wrench.

I was losing hope at this point.

Went to home Depot and bought 3/8 air hose fittings, I also removed the regulator and connected the air line directly to the compressor.

I could only do 1-2 second blasts followed by a 5 second wait time to let the compressor catch-up.

After about 6 tries it finally popped off.
I was extremely relieved.

The left/rear cam pulley was about 1/16 of an inch out when I went to replace the belt.
This must be common as I have seen other YouTube video where after removing the belt the rear cam is slightly out

I used a 17mm wrench and moved it in ever so slightly.

Moral of the story.... I'm asking SANTA for a 20gallon+ air compressor....and don't use those tiny 1/4 fittings



I recently used this Milwaukee M18 to break an Accord crank bolt - 185 ft/lbs per factory spec. Never turned before:
