Abstract (en)

To exert torque on an engine crankshaft 3, for the purposes of tightening or loosening bolts which are coaxial with the crankshaft, torque is applied to the ring gear 5 which is mounted on the crankshaft and is normally engaged by a starter motor. A tool is provided which includes a pinion 8 which can be mounted so that it engages the ring gear and which can itself be turned by a shaped end 10 on the pinion shaft. The shaft is held in a body 6 which can be securely fixed to a suitable place on an engine block 1. To lighten or loosen the bolt, the bolt itself is held stationary and the crankshaft is turned as a result of a torque being applied to the shaft of the pinion which then applies a torque to the crankshaft itself through the ring gear. Because of the relative sizes of the pinion 8 and the ring gear 5, this torque is multiplied.
