Crank pulley bolt
Crank pulley bolt
Anyone remove thier crank pulley themselves? I have a leaking timing cover crank seal and am in the middle of replacing it but I can't get the crank pulley bolt out, is it reversed threads and what method did you use to hold the crank pulley. The Toyota maintenance manual calls for a special tool. Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Crank pulley bolt (sk8r78)
It "should" unbolt the same way the engine spins...The simplest way, you'll need an air powered impact wrench and something (like the proper specialty tool - although a big screwdriver may work) to stop the pulley and engine from turning.It'll be a grade 10 bolt and will require lots of swearing to crack it so give it hell.
