I'm in the middlee of a timing belt change, and I'm at the point of getting off the crankshaft pulley screw. I'm next going to try a large air wrench next, as mine didn't touch it. I have to wonder if there isn't some tool for holding the pulley fixed while getting it loose. I'm really concerned about putting the screw back on, as if you don't get the right torque, the pulley wobbles and bye bye crankshaft nose.
I tried putting the car in gear and putting on the brakes, but that didn't seem to do much (maybe clutch is going-sigh). Strap wrench didn't hold either. As I live in he land of ice and salt, the pulley screw is probably at least partly rusted on.
I do note that it looks like there are two m4 holes about 3 7/8" apart, which might allow a spanner of some kind to hold the pulley.
Any ideas?
