Crankshaft Pulley Holding & Counterhold Tool Set – BMW M52TU, M54, M56

This specialized tool set is designed for holding and counterholding the crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer) during service operations. It allows safe loosening and tightening of the central pulley bolt without transferring stress to internal engine components.

The tool is also suitable for assisting in the removal and installation of the crankshaft pulley, ensuring controlled and damage-free operation.

---

Functionality

The included components provide secure engagement with the harmonic balancer, preventing rotation while torque is applied to the central bolt. This is essential for professional engine work where controlled force application is required.

The tool can be used with standard 1/2" (12.5 mm) drive tools such as ratchets, breaker bars, or sliding T-handles, making it versatile for workshop environments.
