I can tell you from my experience, there is a slim chance of you working this bolt loose with simply a breaker bar and some kind of tool holding the pulley wheel stationary as suggested in the mechanics manual. I pulled on it with one foot planted in the wheel well and both hands on the wrench. No dice.
This works very well. Be sure to disconnect the plugs so the car won't start.Attachment 122430
Just wanted to thank you and all the others who have recommended using the starter motor to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt. Worked on the second twist of the key. I pulled the EFI relay to keep the engine from starting.
I also made the tool to tighten the bolt out of wood (3/4" plywood), braced it against the frame rail and that also worked like a charm.
Thanks again to all!
