Tips for removing crankshaft pulley

Nov 21, 2003 2 Replies

I'm getting ready to replace my timing chain and am looking for any tips, cautions or suggestion anybody might have for removing the the crankshaft pulley. What's the best way to break the engine so the pulley won't turn? I have a 5 speed manual, is it OK if I just put it in gear and let that keep it from turing why I loosen the bolt?


Yep, put it in 5th or 4th and have someone hold the brakes.
