3VZE Timing belt question?
#21
The few times I have removed my crank pulley ony my 3vz-fe I have done it this way:
1) Take a 1/2" drive wratchet and the 19mm socket that goes on the pulley bolt.
2) Put it on the pulley.
3) Put an extension <cough> pipe <cough> on the wratchet and wedge it on the ground so it sits there.
4) Pull the ignitor to distributor wire off so there is no spark.
5) Hit the starter for a half second.
The bolt is now un-frozen, and can be remeoved by hand.
A 200-220lb-ft bolt (They are self tightening, trust me they don't stay at 181lb-ft!!!) is nothing for an electric starter!

A bunch of people do it this way. That's becuase it works so well LoL!
