Be careful when taking the bolt off. They get very tight, and using a chain wrench to hold the pully can put marks in it if you are not careful. They make a tool that has 4 pegs in it to go in the 4 holes in your pully, to hold it while you are spinning the bolt off. You can make out of a piece of steel about 6"x6"

 

First drill a hole in the center large enough for a socket extension

to fit through. Next, dirll 4 holes, about 1/4' in dia., in the same spacing and pattern as the holes in your crankshaft.

 

Put bolts, of a little smaller diameter, thruogh the 4 holes you just drilled. Put a nut on each side of the metal plate to hold the bolts steady. With there being a little slop in the fit, you can loosen up the cinching nuts a bit so your bolts fit right into the holes in the crankshaft. Lastly, attach a piece of angle iron, 2 or 3 feet long to use as a handle. Put it up and out of the way of your other holes.

 

You are now ready to use your tool. Insert the socket extension through the hole, then put your socket on it.

line up the 4 small bolts so they go into the crankshaft holes, loosening the cinching nuts if necessary to get them all in at the same time. tighten the cinching nuts again and you are ready to go. Crank your socket counter clockwise while you put clockwise pressure on your tool.

Thanks thats a great idea. I found a heavy belt type wrench like a chain one but with a hard rubber belt. It did the job pretty good without the marking of the pully. I started to get the chain type but decided on this for that reason and it worked fine. Again thanks for the Idea.

Do you have an auto or manual?

 

If you have an auto you can stick a breaker bar or something down the access hole on the trans. It'll get caught on the flex plate and hold the engine.
