I have heard those are great tools, please have a look at a complete timing belt/water pump job using the crank holding SST, built at home.
It was made with parts from the hardware store and 15 min to assemble.
Steel rod
Pipe flange
Four bolts.

I am with you. I was planning on buying a new compressor just for this job. Thanks for ramming this into my brain. Now I do not have a reason to procastinate. I need to visit the local auto store and rent the tool set.

Very good point. You need this tool to hold the pulley.

Anybody listed the torque required for all the various bolts?

I'm with you on fabricating the tools. If one has the skills to tackle a TB job, then one has the skills for this kind of basic fabrication.
I read your 2015 post and saw you bumped the crank bolt loose with the starter. Did you try an air impact tool first? People have commented that the impact tool is risky, but I have not heard this before. I've done it on several TB jobs in the past without issue.
In one of your last photos, there was a good shot of the end of the crankshaft, with the pulley off. I noticed some rust on the crankshaft where the pulley mates. Did you polish this surface before replacing the pulley and did you use anti-seize to prevent future rust. Rust like this, but worse, caused major issues when removing my MR2 crankshaft pulley. I finally got it off, but had to spend an inordinate amount of time removing the rust. I liberally coated the mating surfaces with anti-seize based on my best judgement, but have never heard any other's opinions regarding this (done prior to internet forums like this one).

I don’t remember if I used anti seize...
