Crank Pulley Bolt Removal Tip This is for you guys who have your engine on the stand but need to get that stubborn crank pulley bolt out. I had already removed the flywheel setup and didnt want to mar my pulley with chains or anything else. Just a simple choke strap and a shackle. No heat or impact needed. Just loop the strap through itself on the pulley and attach to the leg of your stand. I was able to break the bolt free with nothing more than a breaker bar and a handle from my jack as a cheater bar. Hope this helps anyone fighting their crank pulley bolt.

Good idea for the guys working on a stand. Tim has a neat tool that locks the flywheel as well if you have it installed.
Myself, with the motor still being in the car, was the trans in 4th, a 1/2" ratchet with a 1/2 a jack handle, standing between the front bumper and motor - Straight deadlift. Broke free no prob. No heat, no PB anything (that's not going to reach the threads anyway...)
