Hi Dave and Phil,

Happy Good Friday to you.

This is good news. I'd read here on the board of bricks the Crank Shaft Counterhold tool (Volvo PN 9995284) from iPd was made of flimsy plate metal.

You can use the FCP crank counter hold tool to hold either the cam shaft sprockets? That's very cool. The Volvo camshaft counter hold tool is Volvo PN 9995034).

Could this counter hold tool be used on the B21/B23 and so forth before the low friction engine advent what with the harmonic balancer crank pulley we have on our B230s?

The B21/B23 has the all metal crank pulley (not a harmonic balancer). So, for those people that have those engines with the all metal crank, I think you can use the Volvo PN 9995034, the same tool used to counter hold the cam pulleys on any four cylinder redblock (and perhaps others?)? I'm not sure.

I'm going to take my Volvo PN 9995034 and see if this is true in my next boneyard visit (by a bonehead, that 's me). I'll report back with findings.

Thank you.

Have a good weekend.

cheers,
