How do u take that damn crank pulley off?
Sometimes taking the crank pulley off is difficult even sometimes impossible especially if u have an automatic tranny. Of course one needs a 27mm socket and wrench but the problem is keeping the pulley still to apply torque on it. With 5 speeds, one can put in 5th gear but sometimes even that may not be enough (automatics, oh well). Well I have found this tool call a “strap tool” that goes around the pulley to keep it still. It is basically a section of belt with a metal part of a wrench to go on. It is sort of like the pipe wrenches u see plumbers use. Except that instead of a chain that goes around , it is a grooved belt. I found this tool very useful in light of the fact that 140ft/lb of torque must be applied to the crank pulley.
